Hi all 😃

Does anyone have any thoughts on cutting chiffon, please? I have to work with it every so often and I always cut it out in a single layer, never the two on top of each other but somehow the pieces still up end slightly skewed 😱

Hi Jaicee, I have a blog post about working with slippery fabrics - spray starch might be a really good call for you

Try cutting single layer using weights and a rotary cutter
