Rake Before You Sweep
I use a child’s plastic rake to clean my sewing room. All of those little scraps of fabrics that get under my cutting board table come right out where I can reach them. Then I sort those pieces into my stash. Anything too small to get caught with the rake gets vacuumed.
I was having trouble with my rulers and templates moving while I was cutting with my rotary cutter. My husband told me to use a piece of non-slip shelf liner under the ruler to keep it from slipping.
