Rotary Cutting Strips, Squares and Rectangles
Educational, G, 01-Aug-2018
Rotary cutting patchwork
The rotary cutter was designed to quickly and accurately cut through multi-layers of fabric. It allows you to get to the fun part of sewing your project, whether by hand or machine. The various rotary cutter styles do the same job, but the different blade sizes equate to the number of layers they will cope with.
Do not economize on the blades, though. A blunt knife is potentially dangerous, and while you might struggle to cut the fabric, it can still rip through your skin like a thin papercut.
