sorry if I rant--but cutter safety becomes more important after you see a nasty "accident".
these are bias-square HSTs with a technique first shown by
Marsha McCloskey years ago. early method is very accurate for smaller units,especialy if you have a lot of them to produce, but a little hard to understand until you do it.
I totally agree with you about her handling of the rotary
cutter, I cringed at the way she was waving it around and
not closing it when she put it down. When I was teaching quilting classes I made sure my students practiced rotary
cutter safety, only had one accident in 5 years and I was
the casualty.
