Sewing pattern: Using a rotary cutter for easy and accurate fabric cuts

One of my most-reached-for sewing tools is my rotary cutter. I use it often enough that I keep it, my cutting mat, and my acrylic ruler out on my cutting table at all times. It makes cutting your fabric – especially straight cuts – so quick and accurate that I never use scissors to make straight cuts any more. Shelly from Coral & Co. has a tutorial showing how to use a rotary cutter to cut your fabric. She includes a video so you can see exactly what she does.
