ROTARY CUTTER

Pictured is a 45mm rotary cutter. Rotary cutters come in different brands & sizes.

CUTTING MAT

Pick up a sensible sized cutting mat for your crafting to save damaging your work tops.

QUILTERS RULER

Grab hold of a quilters ruler for those finer measurements to make sure your cutting is spot on!

NON-SLIP RULER

A smaller ruler for measuring straight edges with less over hang than a quilting ruler.

MINI IRON

Irons are available in all shapes and sizes. We've picked this one out as its great for patchwork.

SCISSORS

Always worth keeping a set of trusty scissors near by. Make sure they stay sharp to avoid pulling on the fabric.
