Having trouble maintaining a ¼” seam? Is your cutting consistent? Try the Qtools™ Cutting Edge purple or orange vinyl strips. Both can be used either on the bed of your sewing machine to help stay straight and have a consistent seam, or adhere them to the bottom of any smooth acrylic ruler to make rotary cutting easier and more accurate.
This video gives you a quick look at how you can use them.
The Qtools is a sewing edge that is a piece of vinyl and can be used to lay on the surface of your sewing machine to get your accurate quarter inch or I like to put it on the back of your ruler to keep a consistent size when you’re cutting.
So let’s say, I’m cutting a two inch, or a bunch of two-inch strips. If I take it and I position my vinyl (and it is repositionable, so you can take it off and put at a different side) put it on a two-inch line, you’re going to stay consistent with every cut. And it creates a little buffer or a little bump so that your fabric will not or your ruler will not move anywhere else. That gives you a perfect two-inch strip, a consistent two-inch strip every time you’re cutting.
