lol! Thanks for bringing a smile to my face! Made my 1st quilt back in the old days of the 60's, drawing cutting lines with a pencil & sometimes a yard stick. Using scissors & getting a hand cramp. When rotary cutters first came out a friend had one & raved about it. I tried hers & said "nice but I'd never want it". Right-now I can't do without one.

Michael, Thank you for posting this site. It reminded me of when we used to meet at our 4-H leaders house and we were being taught to sew. Everything thing was hand made. Templates, stencils and the hand made quilting racks. Everyones was slighty different to accomidate the person space to quilt. Thank you for beinging back long forgotten memories. :D

I still do a majority of my cutting with scissors I forget I have a rotary cutter til I'm all but done The only gadgets I have is scissors -seam rippers and my basically new rotary and lots of straight and safety pins. Now I'm wondering if I should have more gadgets.--please tell me I'm not OLD :cry:
