Were you a quilter before the invention of the ubiquitous rotary cutter? Nowadays, it’s hard to imagine cutting out fabric for a quilt without one!
Whether you’re already familiar with this wonderfully handy quilting gadget, or are just about to explore its usefulness, you’ll learn lots of useful tips in our free video. For this Tuesday Tutorial, I am pleased to present another one of our free McCall’s Quilting University (MQU) video lessons, Rotary Cutting Basics, Safety, & Maintenance. Your host for this video lesson is Ellie Brown, art director for McCall’s Quilting.
You’ll learn:

- How to choose a rotary cutter
- Important safety and cutting-comfort considerations
- Why you need a ruler specially designed for use with a rotary cutter
- How to tell when your blade needs replacement
- Tips for dis-assembly, re-assembly, and safe used-blade disposal
