[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 209840, member: 59"] I use a rotary cutter to make my fleece blankets. But one caution, the rotary cutter does not work really well for squares cut in a large fabric because it is not precise enough, you can over or undercut and will still need scissors to finish it off. But I can see how you could use it to cut a strip of fabric and then cut your square from that strip. For example if you are cutting 5" X 5" squares you can rotary cut a 5" strip of fabric the length of the material and then just go thru and make cut's every 5" all the way down. You would need a rotary cutter and a ruler straight edge, which they sell at craft stores like JoAnn. You would also need a cutting board so you don't cut your table. You use the rotary cutter just like you would cut a pizza.. Make sure you buy extra blades if you are going to be doing a lot of cutting. Nancy [/QUOTE]
