I am a beginner sewer. I made a couple of small items and struggled with knowing how to cut the fabric straight. I kind of got the selvedge edge thing, but now I think I've forgotten it due to lack of practice.
I would like to make a simple drawstring bag from some scraps of fabric, but now that I've used some of the fabric - how do I make it straight again or how can I cut out nice straight peices?
I can only find info on you tube about cutting for quilting or cutting fabric straight from the shop. How do I manage scraps?
I only have scissors and I use the kitchen table to cut. Do I need fancy rulers and mats? If so, what do I need?
Thanks in advance.
