    Turn it over and use the back. Problem solved.

    i use a 45mm most often, my 60mm for thick fabrics, like multiple layers of flannel, fleece & minkee. 28 mm for precise, little cuts
    as for brand i have quite a variety of cutters, i use them all- fiskars, olfa, dritz...i think there may be one or 2 more also, they are all in a basket & what i grab is what i use, sometimes i choose a specific one, depends on what i'm doing. I do use my pinking blade cutter too...works nicely if i'm going to prewash a wide backing.

    I have the Fiskars 45mm and use it all the time. I had the 60 as well but passed it in as I had a hard time finding blades and liked the 45 better. I have the little one somewhere but did not really care for it either. Have not tried the pinking blade.

    Fiskars 45 originally, now the red Martelli 45. So much better on my arm and shoulder. Do have a 60 Olfa, dont feel like I have much control with it.

    I have Olfa 45 and 60. Use the 60 always and the 45 never.

    Olfa 60 almost all the time. 45 occasionally ... when I can't find the 60! Haha

    I use the 45 mostly, smaller one 28 when cutting around small plastic templates and the twister rulers.

    I want a 60 but the blades are so pricey! So, I have a 45 and a 28 for tight curves. Love my easy blade change Olfa cutter.
