The Best & Most Essential Cutting Set!
If you only buy one cutting tool setup, make it this. The Fiskars 3-Piece Cutting Set includes a rotary cutter, self-healing mat, and acrylic ruler - everything you need for fast, accurate, and easy fabric cutting. Rotary cutting is smoother, faster, and way more precise than scissors, and this set makes it simple to measure and cut in one step. The mat holds up beautifully over time, and the ruler helps you line things up and cut straight over time. I’ve used this exact set since I started sewing, and despite what the sewing snobs say, it’s not just “good enough” - it’s EXCELLENT. Efficient, durable, and totally worth the investment.
The Most Helpful Tiny Seam Ruler!
If fractions make your head spin (same here!), this little seam allowance ruler is a total game-changer. It’s a small 2" x 2" acrylic ruler with tabs on each corner that show the exact widths of ¼", ⅜", ½", and ⅝" seam allowances — no guessing, no counting tick marks. You just rotate it to the tab you need, and you can instantly see what that measurement looks like. It makes sewing feel more intuitive and way less mathy. I honestly use it constantly when planning seams or spacing because it’s fast, visual, and foolproof. Not only is it great for seam allowance measurements, but it also helps with other small-scale measurement scenarios, such as boxing out corners on a mini bag. It is totally one of those tools you don’t realize you need until you try it.
