Accurate Pattern Cutting

[aileenmParticipant]

Hi, I have trouble with cutting out the pattern pieces from my fabric, especially if the fabric is “silky” in texture. I’ve tried cutting very slowly, trying to make sure I’m cutting right next to the cutting line, but I still end up with some inaccuracy. Is there something I can do to achieve better accuracy?

If you’re using scissors to cut this fabric, you should use more pins along the edge of the pattern and that should help. Another option is to use a rotary cutter, a small blade, that way the fabric is not lifting up and has less of a chance of slippage.
