Are you team scissors, team rotary cutter or team something else completely?

Scissors. Mostly because my rotary cutting mat is much smaller than my cutting table. I'd have to most and readjust a lot to use it.
When I do redo the cutting table I may cover it with a rotary cutting mat.

I am the same, I don’t have a cutting mat big enough for most of my pattern pieces! I think I’ll always be team scissors

I use scissors for dressmaking but I do use a rotary cutter for quilting or bag making. Despite years of using a rotary cutter I still find cutting curves or intricate bits a bit awkward. I have a large cutting mat but it is still too small for a lot of pattern pieces so scissors for me.

I prefer scissors for dressmaking, but I use a rotary cutter for patchwork/quilting. I find my cutting is more accurate with scissors.

Scissors for me . I inherited my grandmothers orange handled fiskars when I was a teenager and have used fiskars ever since. I love them. I have a 25cm one for cutting orders and a 21cm that I use for dressmaking .I have tried using a rotary cutter but I am just too awkward and can’t get the knack.
