Learn How to Make this Ultimate Tote
Perfect for Fussy Cutting
One of the standout features of the Tula Tote is its suitability for fussy cutting. Here are some tips to help you make the most of this technique with the Tula Tote pattern:
- Choose Eye-Catching Fabrics: Select fabrics with large, repeatable motifs that you want to showcase. Florals, geometrics, and novelty prints are excellent choices.
- Plan Your Cuts: Before cutting, lay out your pattern pieces on the fabric to determine the best placement for your motifs. Use a clear ruler and fabric marker to outline where you want to cut.
- Pay Attention to Symmetry: For a polished look, try to align motifs symmetrically on the front and back panels of the tote.
- Stabilize Your Fabric: Consider using a lightweight interfacing to stabilize the fabric before cutting. This will help prevent stretching and keep your motifs in place.
- Use Precision Tools: A rotary cutter with a sharp blade will help you achieve clean, precise cuts, essential for fussy cutting.
