Another rotary cutter tip: you can sharpen them by cutting tinfoil with them!

When I use my rotary cutter sometimes it doesn't cut all the way through, even though I apply a fair amount of pressure and when I go back to go over the spots that aren't cut, I end up cutting like 1mm next to it. Idk maybe I'm doing something wrong or it takes practice but I feel like even though using scissors is more time consuming, they give you way more control over the curves and edges 🤔

You’ll need both though. If you have a very large pattern you’ll have to use scissors. Also, a rotary cutter plus mat can be expensive.

Rotary cutters and cutting mats changed my lofe

I'd love to get myself a rotary cutting set but with the type of sewing I do at the moment it wouldn't be very efficient. I make clothes for dolls which requires very small curves, and even with a tiny blade I dont feel it would help me much. I also worry about shifting the entire pattern piece and ruining the cut

I need good scissors though! Do you like yours? What brand are they?

[BeaunaturelleFeb]

Kianna I’ve just bought a rotary cutter and mat but don’t have a sewing table as such, so can I just cut out on the floor please? Everyone seems to have these big fancy sewing spaces and tables, but is this necessary?

[buzzik]

How do you handle cutting out larger pattern pieces like skirt panels? They're bigger than my cutting mat!

[shortytoejam]

What is the size of the rotary cutter you’re using? I’ve seen the links in your info on your other videos and I see the 60mm fiskars. Interested to see which one you used in this video. Thanks!

Is it ever a good idea to use a exacto knife or a cricket machine?

[geoffreyleblond]

what kind of mat do you have? It looks big

[rosawood]

Where do you get your rotary cutter from?

[Lara-qoxf]

I bought one but I got scammed. Suggestions of what to buy?

[NessaL.]

Shouldn’t you give yourself a little extra space for the seams on the pattern?
