If you have ever pulled freshly washed flannel out of the machine and found a tangled, frayed mess on the other side, you are going to love this one. In our newest tutorial Yvonne introduces our brand new pinking blades for rotary cutters, available in two sizes, and walks through how those neat zigzag edges can save you a lot of fuss with fraying, charm packs, curves, and so much more.
Here is what makes this one worth watching:
- A simple swap that changes how you prep fabric. The pinking blades pop straight into any standard rotary cutter handle, and the moment you pre-wash flannel or cotton with pinked edges, the fraying nightmare just stops happening.
- Your own custom charm packs and precuts. With the wider pinking blade you can cut your own 5" squares, strips, and shapes with that pretty decorative edge, which is wonderful when you want a coordinated stack straight from your stash.
- Curves, knits, and craft projects too. Yvonne shows how pinked edges save you the tedious clipping on curves, finish stretchy knits cleanly, and add a lovely touch to felt, pin cushions, and appliqué.
