New cutting mats, pin board full of inspiring samples, and a new tool wall means that you don’t have to visit the modiste when you want a new frock.
The hexagon backwall, made of Autex, looks particularly crisp – that’s because the water jet cutter came in handy in the hopes that the sewing station would finally notice it, ah laser crossed lovers.
When working with thick fibrous materials such as Autex or wool its best to keep it away from the laser cutters or any kind of heat. When these materials are burned they can melt, look singed, and smell for weeks (looking at you wool) so that’s when the water jet comes in handy – only thing you need to keep in mind is that the material you cut will need time to dry out (for reference, the thick Autex hexagons took about 2 weeks to fully dry when left out on a table in the workshop)
Another thing to note is that you need to be really careful when cutting using the rotary blade – those are wicked sharp, if you are unsure of how to safely use any of the equipment please ask a technician.
