I just bought a 'Get Squared' ruler with the 4 1/2 in center square and the teardrop corners and it works really well but it seems to slip on the fabric and I can't quite get a good position with my hands. Any tips for a newbee?
Thanks, Pam :roll: |
Well, thought of this thread last night as I was sewing away doing my applique and noticed all these little dots on my fabric....yup, its blood and I didn't even know I'd stuck myself. Now, how do I get that out? Tide stick? :roll:

You probably won't get staph or MERSA unless you go to the doctor's office or hospital. :?

Heal quickly. I put sand paper on my big ruler - works okay. But I did buy one of those big hand gripper thingys and love it - holds the ruler steady and hand not near the cutter.
