Omg I laughed out loud when you said in your head you heard we wanted to see you cut out your fabric! Thanks for the video you are delightful!
Really great video, I was having difficulty cutting but after watching this vid, I was able to improve and get nice clean cuts.
Thank you so much for CLEARLY explaining the grain line.
I love the blouse that you are wearing in this video.
Thanks I learned something new in this video
Outstanding job. You will make sewers out of a lot of people! You are an inspiration!
I learn so much from you on every video!!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills 🥰
I have never properly learned to use a pattern. So many knowledgeable tips ty ‼️❤️
Your explanation is very clear, that helps so much. Thank you.
Brittany: Thank you for this great video. It was so helpful to see how you transfer markings as well as place your piece on the grainline.
Thanks for advising on how how to know if the grain line is in the correct place. I didn't know you should be measuring that part to make sure your fabric is not of center. I think if your new you can miss that and the final piece cut won't lay like they should or you see there is torsion in the final garmet.
Thank you!
Hi Brittany, Enjoy all your tips and tricks!I am super new to 🪡🧵
Sometimes I make sure the selvage edges meet but they are not straight so I will use the fold as my grainline guide. I admire anyone who can cut with a rotary cutter! If my life depended on it, I would still slip and cut where I'm not supposed to!
Great video and great timing. One of my friends is learning how to sew and I'm going to send her this video!
Hello Brittany! Thanks so much for the video!
Pro tip: for marking pens try crayola utlra-clean washable markers.
Brittany, miss you girl. How are you and your family doing? Thank you for all the amazing shares.
Thanks for this video. Can you do some with the nap and matching plaids? I’m a visual learner and written instructions can be a bit confusing? TIA.
Hey Girl, you look so pretty. Are you going to give us a sew along too?
Thank you for the vudeo. I enjoyed it.
Thank you so much! The videos are great
Thanks for sharing this
Hi Brittany. Thanks for the video. Like you I sometimes have problems with my marking pens. I have a Bohin Mechanical Chalk Pencil which I use for marking lines on difficult fabric. I'm in New Zealand so I'm not sure if you can get them in the States. Mine came with three different interchangeable chalk pencils and a sharpener. I find it works great. I got mine from Sewing Direct in New Zealand. Hope this helps. Take care.
Great video, thank you
What size blade is your rotary? Thank you so much for your amazing videos!
Thank you 🎉
Thank you 🤗
Great video, thanks, will the sewing video of this also come?? I hope so:-)
Good morning🤗
Great information!
Just a Q: I see that you push the rotary cutter with what looks like a push,push,push motion instead of of a continuous cut. Is this how it’s done or just how you do it?
Rotary cutters kind of scare me…….cannot seem to get my lines straight!😔
Normally you use a smooth motion, so that you get a smoothly cut line, similar to using scissors. You wouldn't want a jagged cut either way. But find what's works for you to be able to cut safely and well. If you are uneasy about using a rotary cutter starting out, check out some quilting videos. They are the original users of rotary cutters. Karen Brown of "Just get it done quilts" has great basic videos. Last tips, a small cutter is good for control, curves and small areas. A large cutter is good for long cuts and straight areas. You can even buy a blade with a pinking edge. And train yourself to close the cutter every single time you put it down. Or get one that closes automatically. Happy cutting!

Thank you so much for this information. Will definitely check the quilt videos. I’ve spent a lot of money on the rotary cutters…..now maybe I’ll get to use them!
🤗🤗🤗🥰

Wow. Popped over to just get it done quilts…..she has an entire playlist of using rotary cutters……going to watch each of them. Appreciate the share🥰
Thanks for suggestions and knowledge R Morine. ❤️You can do the continuous cut if you like or whatever works for you. I like the push push (especially if I’m a few projects in on that blade) you wouldn’t need to do push push with a fresh new blade. As long as you’re using precautions and being safe with your cutter, use whatever method you like.
Do you always fold your fabric pretty side facing or is this just for this blouse .thanks.love the video and learned so much
Hi Joyce, yes, I always fold with right sides (pretty sides) together. That way I can transfer markings to the wrong side of the fabric. Thank you for watching.
I’m new at sewing and I just have a question! I bought a tote bag pattern and I have the material laid out and it’s folded. My question is… should the right side of the material be facing in?
Hello. Why 1pattern piece facing up and 1pattern piece facing down?
Hi Annie. Pattern pieces are something down depending on how they need to be placed on the fabric especially if it’s with a nap to keep all pieces facing in the right direction. It’s also how the cutting layout has it in the guide. You can play around with the layout.
You’ll also see 1 pattern piece up and then flipped over if you have to cut it out one piece at a time on single layer to get both sides (right and left) if it’s a huge pattern pieces.
