You are the absolute best! You are literally intelligent enough to know the details are important to include in your instructions for not just absolute beginners, but anyone who has never learned correctly. Thank you! What an amazing teacher!
Wow, thank you so much 😀
I love how you included tips on safety. As a beginner, this is an absolute must know.
Thank you so much😀
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I don't want to embarrass you by gushing, but am making my first dress and I've struggled to cut fabric properly. My cutting is so jagged the fabric ends up looking like it's been nibbled by a shark. I couldn't find a video to help me and you're explanations are so clear. I am very grateful. Maybe my next dress will not be quite so wonky...lol.
You can do it Kerry. Just one cut at a time 😄

🤞I think I'll stick that on a postie and put it on my sewing machine!
Same girl sameee 😭😂
This was a real help as I’ve struggled with getting a neat edge. Thank you 🙏
Thanks Gerry. I'm glad it was helpful😀
Thank you so much! I thought I was just rubbish at cutting. No matter how careful I was it was NEVER EVER straight. I didn’t know I needed to keep the scissors ON the table. Thank you!!!!
You're very welcome Ely. Happy cutting!!😁
Thank you for all the time and effort to make these videos for us. I appreciate your tips and instructions and want to be courteous and let you know it.
Chris and I were talking just the other day about how supportive you've been Cynthia. Your support certainly hasn't gone unnoticed by us, and hopefully is helping the algorithyms. Thanks again for all your comments 🤗
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs It is my pleasure. I enjoy both of your channels and it only takes a second to at least say thank you. Sometimes I even have something more to say LOL
Christine you always deliver great tips that are new or refresh our memories. Many thanks 🙏
Thank you Fay 🙂

So nice of you Eve. Thank you 😀
A+ instructional video!
Thank you Sandra 😁
Great informative video! Thank you!
Thank you Geri😁
Thanks for sharing. I have also seen people use a suction handle on the wide rulers which I imagine makes cutting straight lines with a rotary cutter easier and safer.
Yes, it's particularly good for people that can't hold rulers steady, or have arthritic hands 😀
Thank you so much for this! I'm an absolute beginner at sewing so it was very disheartening when I already started having problems at cutting my fabrics. This gave me new confidence!
I'm so glad this has helped😀
Wow you taught me so much, great video
Thank you so much Jenny 😀

Thanks PUG, you too!
Thank you for this. These simple instructions changed the quality of my cutting. Plus you have a nice voice, and you're pretty!
Thank you Kerry 😀
I’m left handed and have used right handed scissors all my life and always had some trouble with cutting paper etc. when left handed scissors came out, I couldn’t get used to them, my cuts were bad. Then when I started sewing, my fabric cuts were terrible. So I bought a rotary cutter and haven’t used scissors since. I use draw straight lines and or curves and cut free hand and it works great for me. I use different rotary cutters and blades for cutting paper, fabric, and a pair for anything other.
I also find it much easier to use my rotary cutters, and find I use them about 80% of the time. 😀
Thank you very much.....I learned a lot from watching this video!
You are very welcome Gail 😀
Thank you for this, I’m so discouraged from sewing because idk how to cut properly but I see that my hand shouldn’t be in the air but on the table & I need to look at the end of the scissors
I hope this has helped 🙂
Very very useful tips, thanks ma
You're very welcome😁
OK so we've got the right tools and they're in good shape. 👍My problem though, is where to start when I need to cut certain size or sizes out of a nice new large piece of fabric so that they're nice and straight so that I don't waste more than I have to.
This stage of any 'make' always holds me up for ages!! Would really appreciate some guidance. 😊
It's a dilema I have when cutting out something I really like Diane. If I'm uncertain, I'll draw it all out onto paper first to check my best options😀
Thank you much for showimg how to cut with scissors. So many videos rely on rotary cutters 😢 and some of us just have scissors
You are so welcome lily 😄
Thank you so much.
You're welcome!😁
Thank you!!
You're welcome Cheryl. Hope it helps 😀
Thank you
You're welcome 😀
I used my rotary to cut doll clothes and needed a few stitches. It is new to me, but left me afraid to use it.
Do you recommend tracing the pattern onto the dabric instead of using pins or pattern weights? I am having trouble cutting patterns accurately
Yes Monica. It's best to trace the pattern. Once you're more confident, and get to know the fabric and patterns, you could try without on smaller projects😁
i have trouble making a sharp 1cm cut-in on double thin fabric like rayon for a U shaped neckline .Probably need to buy high quality scissors ?
Good quality scissors help Jeanne, but you might be better with a rotary cutter that has a small diameter. It's easier on the curves😁
Can the inside of corners be cut with rotary cutters, or do you need scissors for cutting the inside of corners?
You can use rotary cutter for inside curves as well. I like the smaller one for curves 😁
Will roller cutter effect the table?
Yes, you'll need to use a self healing cutting mat with the rotary cutter 😊
Hi mam, I would like to ask...I see lots of people iron before cutting ..does ironing helps to cut straight line like pants?
Ironing will help the fabric sit flat, but unless you manipulate the grain, it won't make you cut straight😀
How do you ensure that you have a straight line to follow?
Amery, you could draw the lines on using a ruler, but often times you will be following the outline of a pattern which you will use as your guide 😀
Wat is the brand of your rotary cutters?
I have several Alicia. The green ones are by Clover, and the yellow are from Olfa 🙂
how do i keep material from moving when cutting
That depends on what your cutting Leticia. Patten weights help, pinning, or using a rotary cutter and ruler might help 😀
