18 VOGUE PATTERNS
Portland, Oregon is a small city bursting with creativity. Widely recognized for its thriving food and drink culture and “outdoorsy” locals, the city also abounds with visual and performing arts and has a rich appreciation for handcrafted goods of all types. In accordance with the drizzly local climate, Portland’s garment scene is strongly oriented toward performance and outdoor clothing, and has spawned industry giants
such as Jantzen, White Stag, Pendleton, and Columbia Sportswear. The Portland area is also the “silicon valley” of the sport shoe industry, home to the US headquarters of Adidas and the world headquarters of Nike (which originated two hours south of Portland, at the University of Oregon track department). But don’t think performance gear is all you’ll find here—while Portland has plenty to offer for outerwear enthusiasts, its strong tradition of home sewing and craft makes it a gold mine for discerning fabric shoppers of all kinds. In addition to well-curated local boutiques, you’ll find super-sized independent stores packed with treasures, an assortment of niche outlets, and even top-notch designer textiles. An extra perk: no sales tax in Oregon!

20 VOGUE PATTERNS
Blade RunnerA Comprehensive Guide to Rotary Cutters, Blades, Sharpeners and Mats.
BY LINDA TURNER GRIEPENTROG
First introduced by Olfa in 1979, the rotary cutter has taken the quilting and sewing world by storm as an alternative
to scissors and shears. This versatile tool can slice your cutting time in half when compared with traditional scissors. If you have friends who quilt, chances are you are familiar with these tools, but may have never thought of them for your own sewing arsenal. It’s time to think again because rotary cutters can be a great tool for every sewing room. Rotary cutters can be used on all types of fabrics, from quilting cottons and wool to leather and synthetics, and they can cut mul-tiple layers at a time. For the garment sewer, rotary cutters are especially beneficial when working with lightweight and slippery fabrics that squirm during scissor cutting. Movement of the fabric and pattern when the blades lift them from the table can distort the cut edge. When you use a rotary cutter the fabric stays flat against the cutting surface, so cutting can be more precise. This is also ideal for cutting synthetic or real leather and suede, or any other fabric that would be marred by pins, because the fabric and patterns can be held down by weights, avoiding pins altogether. Finally, rotary cutters are beneficial for sewers with arthritis who may have difficulty with the repetitive motion of cutting with scissors and shears. SIZE MATTERSThere are several sizes of rotary cutters and cutting blades available. Most brands offer
sizes from 18mm to 65mm diameter. Smaller blades work best for cutting curves and pat-tern details like necklines and armholes, while larger blades make quick work of long, straight cuts like skirt seams, making your own bias binding, etc. New on the market is a fingertip mini rotary cutter with a permanent 18 mm-diameter blade. The cutter fits over the finger and is held like a pencil to give precise con-trol—perfect for delicate fabrics and detailed cutting areas. Just as you have more than one size and shape of scissor in your toolbox, the same can hold true for rotary cutters.
TAKE SHAPERotary cutters come in different shapes, sizes and colors, depending on the brand. Some offer simple straight rigid handles, others have a curved handle of one configuration or anoth-er, and still others have cushioned or padded handles or gripper-handle activated blades. Some handles are looped for easier holding. Many cutters work equally well for both left- and right-handed cutting (with switchable blade positions) while other brands are specific to one or the other, so be sure to research sev-eral brands to determine a good fit for your needs. The choice depends on what’s comfort-able in your hand. If possible, it’s a good idea to try out several before you make a decision on which ones to purchase. Manufacturers are continually coming up with new features. One company offers a rota-ry cutter with a built-in LED light for cutting dark fabrics or in poor light. Another offers a

If you are thinking about buy-ing a sewing machine, you are going to love your choices! If you already own a sewing machine, you will be amazed at how mod-
ern technology has improved the basic sewing mechanics of even the most economical machines, while adding cutting-edge features to high-end com-puterized models. Where do you start on your quest for the perfect sewing machine? There are so many choices at so many price points that you can certainly find a sewing machine that fills your needs and creative potential. Use this guide and the comparison charts on the fol-lowing pages as a starting point in the search for the machine of your dreams. Whether you’re a weekend dabbler, cre-ative quilter, or hard-core sewing pro-fessional, there is a machine out there to fit your needs and budget.
SHOP AROUNDTypically, if you grew up sewing on a certain brand, you might want to start investigating updates to that particular
brand, but it’s also a good idea to inves-tigate and test-sew a few competing brands. A basic sewing machine might be a good idea for a new sewer, but you might be better served by a machine with features that will help you develop your sewing skills beyond mending and sewing straight seams. In many cases the look and feel of the machine are the ultimate deciding factor for purchasing, so test out sev-eral before making your choice. Start your shopping by looking at advertise-ments and asking other sewers for their recommendations. By typing “sewing machine reviews” in your search engine and you will find thousands of results on the Internet. One result led us to a blog (sewmamasew.com) that we found particularly interesting. It asked people to review their own machine and post it to the site. At last count there were 46 machine reviews from people just like you at sewmamasew.com/2013/10/sewing-machine-reviews/, and a similar survey taken over a year ago had hun-dreds of reviews. When you’re ready to buy, a reputable
sewing machine dealer is your best bet, and can be an invaluable partner, offer-ing classes, routine maintenance and repairs, not to mention quick answers to questions. Many dealers also offer trade-ins and upgrades. Most manu-facturers offer a 25-year warranty, so building a relationship with your dealer makes economical sense. Most dealers only offer one or two brands, so you will have to travel from store to store to make comparisons. On the other hand, sewing shows offer a unique opportuni-ty because they usually have represen-tatives from all the major manufactur-ers, allowing you to try out a variety of machines at different price points all in one place. And, there are often “show” specials to sweeten the deal. Some of the larger fabric stores also have good sewing machine departments with a few brands and knowledgeable sales staff. They offer many of the benefits of dedicated dealers including lessons and service. Quality sewing machines are also available at mass merchandis-ers like Sears and Wal-Mart, but selec-tion is usually limited to very basic
