Featured in the PR book!

My rotary cutter, an Olfa ergonomic, can take a blade on either side of the handle, depending on whether you are right or left handed. If I put a blade on BOTH sides at the same time I can cut 1/4" strips of fabric with one swipe!

It works great for making your own strips of fusible web from yardage.... much cheaper than buying by the roll.

This is handy for narrow strips of bias interfacing to reinforce shoulder seams, also for tiny bias tape to finish seams, etc.
