You have no idea how helpful you are in this tutorial... I have struggled in the past, just about giving up with cutting... Nothing was square,,, well little did I think to just use a ruler and not the mat... I turned mine over right away when I watched this, using a ruler now and my squares and anything else are even.. Thanks so much for posting and helping out.

And 2nd, my table is in the center of the room, so no turning the mat either. My mat is larger, and I just walk around the table and cut from the other side when I need to. Works great!

Basically, when you are working with a 3 yard piece of fabric to begin, do you cut it down into smaller pieces to work with?

Most excellent tips I’ve been rotary cutting for over 30years, learned it from my mom I hated the scissors cutting and attempting to cut straight lines so did she. I used to sew my clothes when it was cost effective.... now I just desire quilting to be more cost productive on my pocketbook. Thanks for the power cutting tip And now I understand the wobble in my strips... rarely do I make strips but I do... always square up my fabric. Drives me nuts to see wonky cuts... fabric store cuts off the bold makes me crazy that they don’t tear it straight and I have to loose my pricy yardage because they can’t cut straight. Why should I pay the price for their inability to cut a true yard.

Here's a response from the demonstrator: It is really great to hear you enjoyed the video and even more important that you're still learning to improve your technique. I know quilters that use the June Tailor Shape Cutters but I never found it to be as accurate or as fast as power cutting with a 12 or 15 inch square ruler. I have always found the Shape cutter slots to be wobbly and shift during the cutting process. Happy Quilting!!

I was anxious to try this even though I don't have a 60 cutter. I still ended up with a wonky strip. I'm thinking that when I folded it up, even though I thought I had it straight just below my folded end, I'm thinking it was a little off. Tried a few times to make sure I had it straight but still wonky. What am I missing?

what would you recommend as the longest yardage of fabric to fold like this? I am only 5'2" and folding four yards would be problematic. I would have to cut my longer pieces into manageable sections and you loose a bit in cleaning your edges.

When using power cutting you do not have to make a new straight cut. Because your power cuts are measured using the horizontal AND vertical lines on your ruler, the straight edge is square so you don't have to take the time to make a new cut.

@infraredthomas
9 жыл бұрын
Ruth OConnor Great question! I checked with Nancy, the instructor. Here's what she had to say. "Yes, you can get straight 1.5” strips out of those wonky ones - it will just take some careful cutting. I would keep the strips folded just once so they are 22” long and use as much of the fold on the fabric as you can to line it up on a horizontal line of your 24” ruler. Be sure to set your wonky strip to fill the 1.5” wide space. You will lose probably a ½” off both sides of the pre-cut 2.5” wonky strip, but you should be able to get a good 1.5” out of that strip." I hope that helps. Let us know how it turns out.
