Then it happened my back started to bug me ok more pills back to no pain. except well lets just say I was feeling very good and my eyesight might have been a little off yeah lets just call it that. After 2 blocks cut I noticed that I obviously cannot tell the difference between 1 1/2" and 1 1/4" well I have decided to make lemonaid and will just make the dang thing work!!!! so I only sewed two and will try again in the morning Dang meds!!!!
Been there, done that... Hint: Put a piece of painter's tape on your ruler where the cutting line will be, then you don't have to read the numbers each time. They make new expensive rulers which you line up, but I can't afford that.
