How do I cut a straight fabric edge?
How do I keep the ruler from slipping
while cutting fabric?
while cutting fabric?
Stop an acrylic ruler from sliding while cutting fabric
...and it all begins with a shower tool.
By attaching a Bathroom Grip Bar (shower handle) with detachable suction cups, to your acrylic ruler, it evenly distributes the weight across the ruler and holds it in place. It's like you have two hands down on the ruler and a 3rd to cut. Go team! I wish I'd found this a long time ago. It's like magic.

Here's a short video demo showing just how effective this new fabric cutting tool can be.
No more slipping = straight edges! Hooray! And it only cost me about $5.00 with a coupon at Harbor Freight. Even better!
Happy cutting ☺

Amazing what we can find in a hardware store for our sewing/quilting needs. This sells for $19.95 on Nancy's Notions under the name Gypsy Gripper. Same concept.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice to find a much cheaper DIY version of something?! Gives me goosebumps! :)
