Tuesday Tips: You're about to start a nice long cut with your rotary cutter and ruler. Which of these photos represents the correct way to start that cut? On the left, the cutter is positioned right at the bottom edge of the ruler. (Out of the frame. How did that happen???) On the right, the cutter is starting about 1/2" from the leading corner.
Sew, my friends, which one?
Neither are wrong...as in the quilt police are going to come drag you off and toss your beloved Kaffe stash to the four winds as you exit the building wrong....but one is designed to keep from ruining the corners of your rulers.
Run, do not walk, to your studio and check out your rulers. If you have crunchy, dull, and chipped corners on your rulers, you've been cutting like the picture on the left.
If you have nice, undamaged, and chip free corners, either you just bought that baby, or you've been cutting like the picture on the right.
I was taught eons ago, by a very wise woman, that you always start your cut a bit up from the very corner of the ruler, head north for an inch or so, and then roll back in reverse just to the corner of your ruler. Then you go back north the rest of the way and make your cut. The other option, of course, is to position the ruler so you are never starting a cut right on the corner, but if you just have to, this method stops crunchy corners in their tracks.
If you've noticed, lately, that rulers, like everything else, have become somewhat pricey, you might want to pay attention to how you cut. As a bonus, a rotary cutter that isn't nibbling off a piece of plastic tends to last longer. Ask me how I figured that one out! - Joan
