Favourite Tools For Cutting

Scissors. Mostly because my rotary cutting mat is much smaller than my cutting table. I'd have to most and readjust a lot to use it.

When I do redo the cutting table I may cover it with a rotary cutting mat.

I use scissors for dressmaking but I do use a rotary cutter for quilting or bag making. Despite years of using a rotary cutter I still find cutting curves or intricate bits a bit awkward. I have a large cutting mat but it is still too small for a lot of pattern pieces so scissors for me.

Scissors for me . I inherited my grandmothers orange handled fiskars when I was a teenager and have used fiskars ever since. I love them. I have a 25cm one for cutting orders and a 21cm that I use for dressmaking .I have tried using a rotary cutter but I am just too awkward and can’t get the knack.

I love scissors and am getting much better at a rotary cutter…but will always use scissors…what in the world are electric scissors 🤔 I suppose it is self explanatory…but don’t you lose control and cut where no cutting should be… maybe I just look away too often 🤭
