    Rotary cutters, Fast and easy on the hand.
    Scissors for tiny snips

    I found the best place to buy rotary blades is at
    " Harbor Freight Tools" Either at one of their stores or on line.

    They are 2 in pkg, for $1.99 and they work as well or better than the $5.00@
    Ask for carpet cutter blades

    I recently invested in an ergonomic Olfa Rotary Cutter (50% off coupon at Michael's). My does that make a difference for my arthritic thumbs!

    I started quilting with rotary, and can't imagine using scissors, it would just take too much time, and your cuts wouldn't be as precise, to use scissors.

    I use a very small rotary cutter on my templates too. It is much better than scissors - more accurate and you can cut more layers.

    For the most part for me is the rotary cutter now.
