Some topics that we will cover: Tool exploration; How to determine what rotary cutter, ruler and mat will give you the best results and why. How to change the blade on your rotary cutter. Obtaining accuracy; How to position your fabric and yourself so that your ruler doesn't slip and you don't turn into a pretzel! How to cut long borders and wide yardage. Safety; How to stay out of the emergency room!
