cutting out slippery fabric?

I quite often rotary cut slippery fabric. Works a treat.

thank you Kate! lesson learned for next time!

Polly- That's a great point. I'll add it to the grocery list. I don't empty my iron either....

Pin the fabric to paper, pin the pattern to paper and fabric, cut all three layers. Instant accuracy.

I have also used that method with very good success.

You need lots of cutting mat acreage - or at least I do! I have 4 big cutting mats laid out so I can cut with minimal moving between pattern pieces.

thank you Kay. Another trick to add to the bag. Thank you for posting the link to archived discussion--really really helpful!

My 20-year-old Rowenta Pro finally had to be replaced, the thermostat has gone wonky, and it gets way too hot even on silk setting. :-( It has been a great iron, never spits, lots of steam, and I love " burst of steam".

My first requirement in an iron is that it be ready to press the minute I stand up from the sewing machine to press something. The auto-shut-off irons are %^%#?#* IMHO. Rowenta still makes ONE model that stays on until you shut it off or unplug it:

NAYY,

Lucky you! None of the nearby TSWLTH carries that model. And usually their coupons exclude irons, so I didn't even look. But I'm a happy camper, I do like this iron a lot.

i was very fortunate...last sunday, they had a 25% off sale all irons, and i had a 25% off coupon for my entire purchase....
