    Cut Twice, Measure Once

    I may have this backwards. I seem to do a lot of re-cutting or repairing lately. Sure glad I buy extra fabric!

    (I tried to make the title in bold and that didn't work out well, either. Guess I'll work on that, too.)

    I can't count how many times I've done that lately.

    I know I'd enjoy quilting a lot more if I could only cut straight.

    One of my favorite quilting buddies has this to say: "Measure twice, cut once -- then force it to fit!"
    Sometimes I try to act "normal," but it gets boring so I just go back to being myself.

    Measure twice, cut once. Curse. Cut again.

    I want to know who moves the ruler while I'm cutting? As you say. Measure once cut twice.

    Today just wasn't my day as I cut the same strip wrong twice. Tomorrow is another day so I'll try to get it right in the morning..
    Fabric is like money, no matter how much you have it's never enough.
