Yes Mary, I do actually cut individual pieces with my shears. I use the sandpaper to trace around patterns. I make lots of scrap quilts so it's more practical for me. the thing that I use that hasn't been stated already is using soap slivers to mark quilting lines on dark material. really helps. Thanks for all the good tips.
