I had heard they were on sale at Walmart, but they were sold out when i went to see about buying it...

I bought one, but I have not tried it yet.

Always pay attention to where you put your fingers!
Those blades are SHARP.
I have a piece of leather about 1/8" thick that I cut thru to sharpen the blade.

Way to go enjoy your new toys hugs carolyn

I am a lefty, too - I have learned to adapt - but don't always like too. I use a ruler that has a lip on it that holds onto the end of the table that I really like for using with my rotary cutter.

Yes I have one also, but as yet have not used it. I have the later one that cuts up to 6 inches wide. Should be great for quilt borders etc. Shirley

Yes,bought it months ago not used it yet,So sorry can't give any tips.

Congratulations!

I am left handed too. I just switch the blade over to the other side to make cutting easier for myself. Have fun with you new "Toys"!

How do you switch the blade over?

you just unscrew the blade and flip it over to L for left

ooops I was thinking of an ordinary hand held cutter. This would not need to be changed. I want one lol but I have a go cutter and have not taken the time to play with that yet.
