Yes, since rotary blades can cut through fabric,
they could cut through garden glove.
However,
seem to be just another couple of layers
between my fingers and the blades
which I do have a great fear of being near
when they are not in the cutter.
So I still use a lot of caution.
Yes, I know there are gloves
that are made to use with rotary cutters,
but imagine how much these $type store gloves cost.
to use to cut paper, card stock and lightweight card board
for my cards, bookmarks and other projects.
What do you use your old blades for?
I have a spare cutter for that use,
so I don't have to keep changing out the blades.
Like you, I have a cutter that's earmarked for using with paper. I actually have three - one for paper, one for 'good' fabric, and one for not-so-'good' fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've used my rotary cutter on anything other than fabric - only because I have a few different paper cutters. But I think it's a great idea to use the gloves and to save the chipped ones for other than fabric. You're so full of great tips!!!
