    Wow. Thank you so much dear Stacy. Your tutorial video is one of the most detailed step by step ones I have seen on teaching the fundamental steps to using a rotary cutter and ruler to cut fabric for beginners. I love you go through 2 methods, mat or ruler and demonstrate a few times and different scenarios (large piece of fabric > strips> squares).

    This is so helpful! Two years ago I started a baby Christmas quilt. At that time I became ill and had a very serious surgery. After home, I tried to cut everything out with my newly acquired rotary cutter, but had to give up because I was so unsteady. I started it again just now, and I'm dismayed to see my squares are really wobbly. I need to trim them all down to 7", so I have to carefully measure and trim them square. Now that I am well and steady again, I have enough time for him to have it this Christmas. Thank you so much for this clear and easy to grasp help

      @@staceyleecreative I am thrilled to report I have recut all of the squares and I pieced them together yesterday. With your vital tutoring, they were perfect! That little baby who is now 2 years old is finally going to get his quilt this Christmas. I plan to digest all of your tutoring and be sure that my quilt turns out perfectly. Binding today!

    Great instructions. My first time using a rotary cutter, I was afraid to cut my fingers so I’d roll away from the ruler. After practicing quite a bit, I’m much more confident. Thanks Stacey for this tutorial. 🌸💖🌸

    I have struggled for a while. I think it all depends on how sharp the blade is. I have to go over and over to cut. I've just invested in a more expensive cutter, hoping that the blade will be sharp.

    • @staceyleecreative
      @staceyleecreative  Рік тому

      I think olfa is the best and you can pick them up pretty cheaply. Also it sounds like you need to press down firmer 🤗

    Hi Stacey, thanks for this video and instruction. Would you also please link your mat? I liked the tools you recommended after reading some reviews on them, and plan to purchase the Olfa and the ruler that you use. What is the brand of the mat? I'm sick of my scissors and unsteady hands!
