I'm sure it is not the cutter that is giving you fits. It is more likely the blade. Sometimes it is the cutting mat. If you use the same places all the time to cut, they could be worn out and not as forgiving as when the mat was new.

My Martelli cutter which I have used for about 6 or 7 years just broke!! I am bummed. But, I love that cutter. It is only a spring that broke, I will probably e-mail the company and tell them, but in the meantime, Connecting threads has it on sale for 20% off so I ordered a new one last night along with some platinum needles and some thread.

Oh, just saw post from incoming. that's a better price than I got! I looked at JoAnns on Monday but they do not carry them in my store, I assumed (falsely) that they just did not carry them. That's a great price for the 5 blade replacement pack!!!!

I see that Connecting threads is also coming out with a electric rotary blade sharpener for $65, on sale now for $52. For that price, it had better be pretty darn good!
