"  As an avid sewer, I&amp;#039;ve always wondered whether or not it would be worth the splurge to trade in my traditional scissors for rotary scissors to cut out patterns on fabric. Recently I had the chance to try out Fiskars Comfort Grip Rotary Cutters ($21) and I loved them! I often find that my wrist and hand get sore from cutting fabric but the rotary cutters took care of that problem. By simply squeezing the handle and then pressing a button, you lock the blade in place. Then you press down and roll over the fabric to cut the fabric, much like you&amp;#039;d use a pizza wheel. It took me a few attempts to get used to and while I was worried about maneuverability, I found it could cut straight or curved lines even on thick fabrics like duck and denim. You do need to use a cutting mat underneath the rotary cutters (I used one from Fiskars) which limits the size of your cutting surface and you have to be careful not to get carried away or you&amp;#039;ll scratch up your table. However, if a lot of home sewing is on your agenda, I highly recommend these! Looking for more sewing tips?
