I used mine for a sweatshirt project. You undid the side seams and laid the project flat, then attached 3" squares of wavy cut cotton by free motion with a sparkly thread. Then sewed the seams back up. It is very easy to take a chunk out of your ruler when using this blade

I used mine to cut strips for rag wreaths. I made several as gifts a few years ago, but haven't done any in a while.

I bought one years ago, seems it didn't cut. I don't need it, don't make anything that needs it.

i used mine to "pink" edges of batik squares used as table toppers for daughter's wedding. One thing I did find out is it seems to gouge your cutting mat more than regular blade

I made hundreds of pastel floral pennants for a wedding reception and used the wavey, pinked edge, rotary cutter to cut them all out. The bride wanted to do a turned edge on them and I laughed her right to the fabric store and the rotary cutter display. It worked beautifully.

I have two ready to go all the time...I machine embroider on t shirts and sweatshirts with cut a way stabilizer on the back. I trim the stabilizer with these. It seems to help hide the stabilizer more from the right side

Mine never cut right. I never use it anymore.

Wonderful ideas everyone...thank you!

A friend told me to Pink the edges of fat quarters and yardage before washing to eliminate thread tangles..it worked.

I use mine to cut out raw edge burp cloths instead of snipping every quarter inch.

I do a lot of alterations for people, and found slits or tears are easier to patch with Steam a Seam II if I iron it on to the patch and then cut the edges with the wavy rotary blade. It irons down without sharp corners and edges feather well. I had to patch a large floral patterned formal right in the front and I matched the flowers and no one could find the patch.
