Nerding out on materials and tools

For the first time in my many years of working in vinyl, I came across a seam in my rolled vinyl. A seam in the backing knit, you can see a little bit of the impression on the front side of the material.

Trims back just fine, I’m using these cut pieces for linings so no biggie.

Also, I’m getting lots of use with the utility blade razor cutter I got from Tandy, great for cutting piping cord and notching curves and corners through multiple layers, etc. and the blade switches out with a couple screws. It came with an angle template which I haven’t used yet.

Not as quick-change as my American Line utility knife, which just opens and you can switch the blade out easily. My favorite knife for ease of changing blades!

Everything is easier with the right tools!
