The Running Stitch Podcast is back and on the move again. Now in Season 4, we wanted to highlight the most recent episode because it got a ringing endorsement from two-time TQS guest Victoria Findlay Wolfe (who herself was the very first guest in Season One of the podcast). She says of the episode, all about the rotary cutter, "I enjoyed this “Running Stitch” podcast episode on the history of rotary cutters… have a listen! It’s good info to know (and) understand, I’m pretty happy to not be hand drafting and cutting templates from Cheerio boxes anymore…" Click through to learn more about the episode, and the podcast as a whole.
