3 of my new pet peeves

[Gabrielle Proctor]

(You guys have that swanky table with the bar-cutter.) They do approximately 40 or 50 blankets when they do it.

If you ever need to cut a straight line, you should measure out your yards and lay a piece of painter's blue, masking tape down where you need to cut and just go along the line. I do it all the time to quilt my tarot mats.

People think that they couldn't possibly cut a straight line, or that they aren't talented enough to cut a straight line. It isn't true. There's nothing to it at all, really, bar cutter or not.

And by bar cutter, do you mean the groove in the table?

-=hugs Gabrielle=- I LOVE YOU! You have to put up with not only the sucky customers but the people like me who need confirmation that their shit matches!

I was taught to nick the fabric and pull a thread, then cut along the "line" made by the pulled thread. Some fabrics are nigh on impossible to pull a thread in, though!
