An Introduction to Rotary Cutting Patchwork Equipment

Basic Patchwork Skill
Rotary cutting has revolutionised patchwork. It enables the patchworker to cut multiple pieces of fabric, quickly, easily and more importantly accurately. The reason for this is that the rotary cutter, a blade on a stick, cuts down through the fabric rather than lifting the fabric, which is what scissors do.
Accurate cut pieces mean accurate patchwork – and its the sewing that’s the fun bit. We all like to get to that as fast as we can.
