    I use Harbor Freight or Olfa blades in all my cutters.

    I think the rotary cutter is right up with the discovery of electricity! I have always loved to sew but hated cutting out the patterns. Now I just just my rotary cutter instead of scissors and it goes so much faster! Of course, I still use scissors to cut notches and snipping thread.

    Rotary all the way. I do own scissors, but usually can't find them. It's amazing that when my son enters the room, my scissors disappear. Hmmmm.

    Thank goodness for the rotary cutter:-) I do use a small pair of scissors for detail work and cutting thread.

    I have three sizes of rotary cutters- I even used the small one to cut out pattern pieces for a garment. Speedy!

    Definitely use the rotary cutter more - scissors I use only when I have to.
