Heads up! Pinking blades will shred your mat!

Use your old non-healing mat. Don't we all start out "cheap" and eventually buy a good mat?

Pinked edges have another perk: if you have a mix of washed/unwashed fabric in your stash, you can easily store "by colour" and instantly know if a piece of fabric needs to be washed when you start pulling fabric for a new project.

I do try to wash fabric as it comes in the door. But life gets in the way of my best intentions.
