Random Quick Tip!

Cutting Mat Not Sticky Enough?
If the cutting mat you use with your electronic cutting machine no longer is sticky, you can use painter's tape to keep the paper or cardstock you are cutting on the mat. Just put pieces of tape on all four sides and 4 corners about a couple of inches long each. I am doing this each time I need to cut more shapes for my English Paper Piecing project. These are for the shapes I cannot cut with my Accuqilt dies.
