That is exactly the same way I use mine, have the full set of them, wonderful tools.

Thanks for that. The tute posted by Prism99 made it look so easy. Something else to buy.

They work great. If you are using them for straps, I dont cut on the bias.

I have them but yet to use them. Still stashed in the drawer and most still in their original packaging. Even picked up the ones with the double-sided tape for them.

The owner of the lqs I go to only recommends the Clover; also she has found that they work better if turned over; opposite of the way the directions tell you. They are great.
