Did you ever have this situation?....You sew a beautiful chiffon dress that looks gorgeous but when you're hemming the bottom you stretch the fabric and the end result looks funky (and not in a good way). Here's an interesting way to seal the edges of your SYNTHETIC fabrics while cutting them at the same time. And don't skip using a metal edged object or ruler. It really makes ALL the difference in the crispness of your edge.

@Anne WeaverThanks Anne!!!!
This is FANTASTIC!! I will use this so much thank you!!
@Anne Weaver
And I found it there! This is great. I have always had trouble with synthetics and have avoided sewing with them. I was given a couple boxes of such fabric and now I can get them out of storage!
great novel idea, I'll give that a go when I get out my sewing machine next.
@Anne Weaver
Very clever indeed and well done... But how do you "practically" set up a glass cutting surface and what specifically did you use for a metal ruler? The ruler looked square and heavy.
@MabelLucyAny metal ruler will do! I used that box top with the metal edge because I couldn't find a metal ruler. As for the glass surface I was lucky enough that my desk has a glass surface built in but if you don't have any glass surface to work on you can try checking out a glass shop or lowes. I know that lowes sells pre-cut glass.
Great ! never seen this before.
