If your rotary blade cutter is feeling dull, instead of changing it right away—try this technique: take a long sheet of aluminum foil and fold it several times on itself, until you have at least 8 layers. Place the foil on your cutting mat and roll your rotary cutter on it, several dozen times. Try cutting a scrap piece of fabric and you should notice a clear improvement! This works just as well with fabric scissors too. ✂️
How often you do you test your stitch length before you start sewing a project? 🪡 While 2.5 is standard, you may want to adjust it depending on the weight of the fabric: up for heavyweight fabrics; down for lightweight fabrics. A few rows of test stitches on a scrap piece of fabric before starting a project will often tell you everything you need to know! To learn more about stitch length and when to adjust it, head to our blog. ✨
