Hey Yall,
The day before Thanksgiving I bought myself some new sewing goodies. I hardly ever buy myself anything new but since my twin commissioned me to make her a Christmas throw quilt, I felt that warranted some new & upgraded stuff and I wanted to share! I also needed a hard surface to support my cutting mat so I went to Lowe's and got a 2'x4' board of I think he called it pressedwood. Its almost 1 inch thick. So I had him cut it in half so that they would be bigger than my new cutting mat. I didn't take a picture because I felt it was nothing worth taking a picture of. But I do love my boards and they make cutting so much easier. The past couple of days I stacked them on top of one another to raise my cutting mat up a bit higher.
The rotary cutter is made with the new Titanium 45mm blades. The package says it's preferred by Quilters and 3 times as strong and more durable. I LOVE MY NEW ROTARY CUTTER! My old cutter was hurting my hands. I also bought some clear rubber gripper dots to put under my new cutting ruler because my old one kept sliding and my cuts were not precise. I have the rubber dots in each corner and every 4 inches at the edges. Let me tell you, these grippers make a world of difference! My ruler is not sliding! I chose this new cutting mat for the colors and the size.
My cat Antar was pawing at my ruler when I was trying to take a picture, as seen above.
