power rotary cutters
#21
I use one when sewing for a woman who makes canvas bags. It's ok for straight cutting,,,,,,,but you have to draw lines because you put the fabric between the blade and a guide on the bottom. Definitely not a fan and would never use one of regular fabric. I need my regular rotary cutter for precise cutting.

I also have tendinitis, but I think I will just continue to use my Fiskars ergonomic cutter. I would be terrified of losing a finger or worse using a power cutter when I already have gripping problems. The nice thing about the ergonomic cutter is I can grab it in many different positions depending on my hands each time I pick it up. Just my thoughts.

I saw one advertised in a quilting magazine and it was very expensive. Not a good option for me. I do love my power scissors tho and often wonder why Joannes doesn't furnish them to those poor clerks that cut fabric all day. Their hands must really hurt by the end of the day

I saw it in Nancy's Notions and with RA I was tempted until my DH reminded me how accident pron I am. He was afraid I would cut the cord or my finger off. That and the price made me decide not to buy it.
