Plus Many Other Helpful Cutting Tips!

Once again Laura from Sew Very Easy has created an informative video of why-didn’t-I-think-of-that tips. This time she covers the process of cutting strips with a rotary cutter and rulers.

While you may already have a method that’s working for you, you’re likely to find something in Laura’s video that will help you refine the process. You’ll find many helpful tips, including how to prevent creating those dreaded “Vs” in strips of fabric.

Prevent Cutting Strips with Vs

One very helpful segment covers how to cut accurately when using rulers from a variety of manufacturers. Every manufacturer marks their rulers a bit differently, which is why many quilter stick with one brand. However, there’s a simple way to achieve accuracy across a variety of brands and Laura shows how.

She also covers how to use tape to mark measurements (she uses Omnigrid Glow Line Tape, found here). Then she demonstrates how to square the end of a length of fabric without having to turn the fabric around on the cutting mat.

As always, there are a wealth of tips in her video that are sure to save both time and frustration.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!




PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article).
