Basic Patchwork Skill

Changing the blade in our rotary cutter is something we should do more often because working with a blunt or damaged blade can be dangerous.

How many times does one puzzle over how to change the blade and where do all the pieces go once you have taken the blooming thing apart!  Remember – if you have bits left – you didn’t do it right!
