Power cutting
Has anyone heard of this method of cutting g fabric? I found a video quite by accident today and I am so happy I did. Debbie Caffery has a book or two out on the subject. I liked that after you have squared up your fabric, you cut a big piece and measure off of the squared up side (Left side for rt handers) and slide your ruler left however inches you want your strips. I'm sure that's clear as mud lol.
Anyway, look it up. The book is Power Cutting. I plan on getting a copy.

Yes. Although I think her method was created before the Shape Cut rulers. They take all of the complicated maneuvering out of it. You just put the ruler down once & cut the "0" line & all your subsequent cuts & they are all lined up from the same reference point (just like DC's Power Cutting method).

That is interesting. I have done something similar when sub-cutting my bargello strips. I will use a 6" ruler cut on both sides then move and cut again. Never knew there was a name to this technique.

I bought a 60mm rotary cutter this year based on a Judy Niedermaier suggestion with her patterns.
What a difference when cutting layers. If you have hand or shoulder problems try one before resorting to $500.00 cutting machines!
