    I hate to be a spoiler but I’ve been cutting cloth in my family’s business for 50 years now. We manufacture uniform headwear. Dress caps for police and fire departments. Nice job marking the pants and cutting them.

    I always botch projects involving cloth yet was fascinated with the skill of this person. One lapse of focus and the wrong line is cut.

    His layout technique was also fascinating, especially when he marked reference points off of the fabric. I’d like to see the finished garment.

    I feel vindicated.
    I use a 12" chef's knife for everything.
    People freak out over it.
    But . . . THOSE SCISSORS!
    Way cool.
