Love these tips and love you, too! Thanks for your no-nonsense, fun approach! I dispose of my rotary blades by putting them in the original case (several will fit), and taping it shut when it's full.

[@chi2tan]

I like using the tape to wrapup old blades.

[@kathyb.8769]

0h ,y goodness theses are some good habits to get into, I like your blade disposal method. I keep the containers but if there are multiples, for whatever reason, they never all get back in there. Thanks so much for such a great video.

[@wandawalker4191]

I watched this several days ago, but keep thinking about it. I think a good habit for all of us is to keep a bottle of water handy. Sometimes we get so busy being creative that we neglect the basics of good health like staying hydrated.

[@TheSewingChannel]

That's a great idea Wanda💦

[@barbarajefferysings]

I work at a transfer station (aka, a recycling center or *ugh* the dump). We require our customers who use sharps to put them into a detergent bottle and tape the cap on very securely. This then goes into the compactor with other household waste.

[@marygarrett9724]

Some I do, some I will definitely start doing

I bought a small medical Sharps container for my used for needles and rotary blades

Thanks so much Kris....I feel like FMQing "something" is better than nothing LOL🤣

[@bettycoffin4206]

On my first quilt 50 years ago I did not iron a single seam, quilt top finally got ironed when I finished it. BIG MISTAKE. Would not lay flat at all. Looked like crap. Now I absolutely iron every time I sew a seam and I get great results always.

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

Yes. I have cut the back (and the top) of some of my quilts while trimming strings. That's a great idea. I do own a small wooden free standing cabinet that I can put a lock on. I could store (and lock up) all my cutting and ripping tools in that cabinet (along with many small items like sewing machine tools, feet, oil, bobbins, marking tools, needles, pins, loaded pin cushions, etc.) so they will not be misused, damaged, taken, or swallowed. Wonderful idea. I need to make a trip to the hardware store today to make my sewing room a safer place for everyone. Thank you for teaching me a better way of using what I already own.

[@TheSewingChannel]

You're welcome Arvetta...(after "snipping" the backs of a couple quilts...I now "always" grab the curved snips...always!!!✅)

Thank you for the tips. 😊

[@lilscrapper67]

I put my old rotary blades back in a plastic container they come in. When it's full, I'll tape that plastic container securely shut before disposing of them. Much less chance of someone getting cut that way.

[@juliatepe5760]

Thanks so much for the helpful tips. Great fast way to label a quilt; don't know why that seems like such a chore. I save the packaging the rotary blades come in to store old blades. When it's full, I tape or staple it shut before tossing it in trash. Happy Easter!

[@TheSewingChannel]

Happy Easter to you too Julia✝️💐

[@eleanorwittering3126]

Really liking these smart tips/quilting habits to adopt! I’m going to work all of them into my quilting “zone!”

[@sehryn]

The best tip I have for disposing of used rotary blades, blunt needles, and bent or blunt pins is a jar of 3/4 full white vinegar, drop them into it, put the lid on and let the vinegar dissolve them. I call them my Rust Monsters. About once a year I make a fresh jar and put the old one aside till everything in it is dissolved. Then it can be dumped out in a back corner of the garden, in the compost, or even strained and the rust fluid used to make interesting cloth dye for slow stitching journals etc.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Great ideas❣️

[@margaretlewis2289]

Interesting, I didn’t have a clue white vinegar would dissolve a rotary blade. Makes sense though because of the acidity of vinegar

[@patphares6258]

[@terribishop5313]

[@carriesaindon5382]

I baste my straps with Elmer's glue and heat set it. I don't always remember to turn it around. The glue stabilizes it enough that it doesn't bow. Also I love your scrap bag system on you wall.

[@paulanevermore2612]

I have an electric grace sharpener to resharp my blades so no throwing away for me. I also use an old pill bottle for my dull needles it would work for blades as well

[@TheSewingChannel]

How many times can you re sharpen your rotary blades? I will look into that for sure....thank you.❣️

[@paulanevermore2612]

@@TheSewingChannel not sure I saved all of mine so I have like 50 blades already did once. Will take me a while to go threw all of them. According to grace company you can do multiple times. They do get them back to sharp for sure.

[@ladygray4]

My husband is diabetic, so I dispose of my old rotary blades & sewing machine needles by putting them in with his insulin needles.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Thats great that you have access to do that....that is ideal for sure✅

[@kstorts7348]

I asked my husband for a couple of his empty chewing tobacco cans. One can I use to store used blades and keep it closed and tucked out of sight. The second can I punctured a small hole in the lid (off center) and taped the can shut; I use this can to store used needles. Both cans, when full, can be safely tossed in the trash.

[@JudithBrummett]

I use a sharps box for my cutting blades bc I owned a hair salon and know how easy it is to get cut disposing of a blade. You can make one with a coffee can or jar with lid.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Great idea using coffee can✅

[@jkoucheki]

I've started doing some of things a while ago. The best one is stay stitching around my quilts. I've actually started stay stitching my quilt before I put the borders on. I find it makes sewing on the borders so much easier and I'm not going to run into any of those stitches that have started coming apart along the edges. I have really only given quilts to family and I always joke with them that it's their job to clip any threads I missed clipping. I do the best I can, but I always end up missing some. I've joked that every quilt I give should come with a pair of snipping scissors.

[@TheSewingChannel]

That's so funny Janine.....Quilts that I've made years ago still have threads to be snipped on them haha🤣 Those threads are super easy to miss✅

[@jhwilliams6550]

@@DH-qz2so thanks for the reminder. I knew I had heard this before and have started using it on my QAYG blocks, especially the strip pieced blocks since the edges are angled.

I keep my old blades in a coffee can on top of the cabinet. I use the plastic cover from the new blade to put the old blade in and then wrap that up with tape before I put it in the can. I have 5 kids and 3 dogs so all of my tools are up high and put away when I'm done.

Hey Tracy! Love your sewing tips, especially the one about how to dispose of rotary cutting blades. You can only use so many of them in thread cutters. I keep the plastic blade containers that they come in and have put my dull blades in them, but could never figure out how to safely throw them away. Also, like you I wind several bobbins whenever I have to do so, while I'm at my machine and have to do this anyway. Nice to be able to just grab a full one and keep sewing. The curved-blade scissors are a must!!! I clipped into a garment trying to clip thread tails. 😭😖😟Oh, the agony!!!! Life update: Packing up for a big move! Will send your package to you very soon. Life got in the way of sewing! More later. 🥰 Have a very happy Easter with your family. ✝

I iron from the back first also. Really really works. And especially as I like to press open. I love flat seams. And from the back means better behaved. The details are always in the work never seen. And yes, sewing tiny edge around quilt, another hidden detail is a trick I learned a while ago. Let's you breathe, or at least finish your work without tears. Ta heaps, hugs, Chel 🌸

[@meacadwell]

I have a prescription medication bottle that is large enough to hold rotary cutter blades. I wait until it's full before emptying the old ones out, wrapping them in fabric and batting waste, and taping the whole thing up with duct tape. I also have a smaller prescription medication bottle to hold my old, bent pins and needles. Used a hot nail to poke a hole in the lid so I can just slide the old pins and needs in without the need to open the bottle. When it's full I take it to a place that accepts sharps.

Thank you Tracy, for the great tips. I needed the sewing strips in the opposite direction tip for sure. I always wondered why after sewing stripes, even blocks ended up off on one side of the quilt. I always sew them the same direction, so now, thanks to you I know why. I don’t motion quilt yet because I always hand quilt, but I never thought to label them somehow on a corner. Many tips I need to get in a habit to do. Thank you!

[@kailualaur9394]

Love your tips and tricks Tracy! At the end of the day, it's always best for me to clean up my work area to start fresh next time - which isn't always the next day. I am fortunate to live near the beach in Hawaii but need to be vigilant about protecting my tools from the moist and salty air. If I'm not careful I swear I will rust and corrode also! Cleaning up each day is a must. All pins, needles, rotary cutters, and extra blades are stored in containers. Keeps everything out of my kids' reach and safe for my kitties to walk on tables a night. My sewing machine needs to be covered too. I love our craft . . . and the beach too!

[@susanmei9980]

Regarding the blades, 2 things: I always put my sharps in an empty vitamin bottle and label it “sharps.” I can’t take credit for this one, but read it: Save your used rotary blades for trimming paper. Get a cutter in a different color or style so you don’t mix them up. (Like for “paper scissors.”) Then save it for cutting out paper patterns, etc. also, fleece and batting can dull your good blade faster. Old blades cut paper just fine.

[@TheSewingChannel]

[@jeannemcmillintwinlakeses3767]

I have an empty container that my blades come in and put the used ones in it and when it's full I tape it up also before putting in the trash. I need to do the same with my needles. But I don't. I also like to iron my blocks on the back side a little to make sure everything is pointing in the correct direction before flipping it over and finishing it. I just started doing that making a churn dash quilt for my mom with 70 blocks! They started out not so good and got better and better! there are so many seam around the outside that I'm going to use the stay stitching tip around it before I start attaching the borders.

[@dcwatashi]

It was either Jennie of Missouri star or Donna Jordyn who said to flip the strips and Donna Jordan believe it or not she only finger presses her strips and then there’s that little roller if you didn’t want to keep getting up to your ironing board And then about your stay stitching I am guessing you would want to stay stitch around that block before you square it up? Because if you square it up you are handling it and don’t you run the risk of the seams coming apart

[@TheSewingChannel]

Anything you can do to keep those stitches locked is a good thing✅

[@sewbeitquilts]

To dispose of rotary blades I put them in the plastic cases my new blades come in. I write trash on it. when it’s full I seal it and then start a new case of full blades.

I stay stitch all the way around, mostly to sort of “gather it back together”. Then I use a seam ripper and cut a stitch every few inches. This keeps it from being splayed out AND gathered.
