    After four years of making things, I'm just now discovering your channel! I love that you keep right to the point and don't get all chatty like a lot of people do on their channels.

    If you don't want the cut edges of the ribbon to fray and don't want to use fray check, you could just cut the ribbon with a hot cutter. The wood urning tools at the craft store are cheap and all come with an exacto knife attachment.

    I have this same paper cutter, and it is worth every penny! The replacement blades are easily found on line or in the store and it is simple to remove the old blade and replace it with the new one. The wire that shows the exact cutting area is a big help. I use it to make detailed greeting cards, but did not know it would cut fabric too! Thanks!

    Hi Jan, loved watching this video....Have you tried a heat press machine instead of using an iron

    Love this so much! Thank you for sharing. Do you know approximately how many washes till the label will start to fade?

      I have put labels on t-shirts that have been washed for years and the label is still holding up great!
