In reply to j Robertshaw. I actually don't really get that nervous, but I talk too fast and it makes me sound breathy! Ha, things you learn about yourself when you put yourself out there on social media!!

Hi Alicia excellent video. You sounded a wee bit nervous. I would be terrified doing a video like that. It was a great help. I realised having a cutting mat with 1 inch measures same as my rulers would help alot. Many thanks again. I have subscribed and will watch out for other stuff from you. jan

In reply to jaya veeramani. There are lots of great rotary cutters. It depends on your needs. They have ergonomic cutters if you have hand or wrist issues. The most important thing is to always have a sharp blade. Be sure to check the blade frequently and change it out if it isn't sharp. Much like scissors you want to have a specific blade for different fabrics since they dull the blade at different rates in different ways. Label your blades with a sharpie and switch the blade depending on what you are cutting! I hope that helps!

Thanks for the nice explanation for cutting fabrics. Very helpful for beginners like me. I am trying to do alterations for some of my clothing. Which rotary cutters are good? Do rotary cutters work for all fabrics?

Hi, I just saw your video about cutting straight edges. Thank you! Very helpful. I found in your video though that you seemed rushed because your breathing sounded stressed. Make sure you are taking time to ‘b r e a t h’. Long, deep, slow breaths. Consciously.
