Good tip, and exactly the right way to cut fur. The shorter the blades are on the scissors the better...or just cut with the tips of the blades.

Thanks for the tip!

Good tip, Mary. A few years ago I was making dance costumes trimmed with red and yellow fur, and being in a great hurry (since I waited till the last minute), I cut the fur wrong and with all that yellow and red fur all over my work room, it looked l slaughterd Big Bird...Big Mess!

It could be done with sharp razorblade or crafting knife also.

Or how about using one of the rotary slash cutters with the front-end guide bar used for making slash chenille-type projects? Clover makes them in 2 sizes.

Interesting idea, so-so-sewer, have you ever used one of those? I've wondered how well they work.

I'm not so sure I would use a rotary cutter. It would seem to me that it would cut right through the fur and this isn't what you want to do. You need to only cut the backing. So - if you become a little heavy-handed you then have a fur snow flying around your room. hehehe

Mary...so-so-sewer isn't talking about a regular rotary cutter. Maybe you haven't seen the kind she's talking about? Here's a photo and description of it:

Wow - That's cool. That might work as long as you get the bottom plate situated correctly. It's not very pointed so it won't slide under the fur easily - but it looks like it can be done. Thanks for the info. I might want to use this for some other things that I'm doing. They must be popular because they are out of stock at Joann's. Thanks again SewVeryTall.

Mary...you're welcome. It'd be great if someone did a notion review on it.
