    I agree, I have the 10 degree ruler. Signed up for a class, and used it instead of the 9 degree that everyone else was using. I had very little waste. The difference was that my table runner is about 1 inch longer and 1 inch wider than the one my friend made using their #9 ruler. I've loved the look of these, but took the class to understand the cutting. I'm not sure I would have done it correctly otherwise. For the record, my teacher cautioned about marking off the sections on your pattern (check mark) with a pencil once you cut them. 2 of the ladies in the class were visiting, and did not do this, and cut 2 of the same sections. The other caution I can give you is that my friend started cutting her strata lengthwise rather than across the seams. She was able to finish her runner, but the hardest part of this pattern IS the Cutting.
    Creative clutter is more blessed than tidy idleness.

    Haven't watched the youtube video yet, but I made 4 of these, here's a picture of the small tidbits of waste that I had after cutting for the one. Name:  spicy spiral005 (Small).JPG

    when this pattern first came out, i knew i absolutely loved it. but i was a new quilter and knew i could never do anything like that. so..........i paid someone to do it for me. i went to lancaster and bought the fabric and gave it to the "professional". well the "professional" had the runner for several months. after 6 months or so i finally said, and when....coming soon was the response. and after a few more months and when.....coming soon. well finally i said just give it to me i dont care in what condition its in........well what a mess it was. i took it all apart, and i finished it. so have a little confidence in yourself. give it a try. its not really as bad as you think. and if it gets tough, pick up and walk away for a while.
