The Rotary Cutter

About this episode

This episode discusses the rotary cutter's impact on quiltmaking with guest Kristin Barrus.

Other than the sewing machine, what tool has been the biggest innovation in quiltmaking? Yes, that's right: in this episode of Running Stitch, we're talking all about the rotary cutter. Our guest is Kristin Barrus, a PhD candidate at University of Leicester and a quiltmaker. Kristin's work explores 21st century quiltmaking through the lenses of women's studies, fan studies, and anthropology. We'll talk with Kristin about the origins of the Modern Quilt movement, and she also shares with us the fascinating history of how quilters came to use--and love--the rotary cutter.
