    You probably have this one, in your desk drawer! A letter opener! Yep, letter opener! Today while opening & paying bills, I had a light bulb moment. Thought to myself" It wouldn't hurt to try it". So, I pulled some stash and sewed up this sample. Wahlah, it cut like butter.The best part they were free.

    That's a cool idea. Hope the bank doesn't have a run on these cutters! Will have to check the office supply store for one.

    Great idea, who would have thought it, except a crafter.

    I have one from the phone company that I "liberated" when I retired! Thanks for showing the chenille technique. I was wondering how that worked.
