This week we’re starting with one of the most important first steps in quilting: a sharp rotary cutter blade.
(Please use caution when changing your rotary cutter blades.)

This short and sweet video walks you through changing your blade, perfect if you’re new to quilting or, if you're like me, sometimes get those tiny pieces mixed up. Tuck this one into your back pocket for the next time your cutter starts skipping or feeling dull.

👉 Watch the video:
