I use a large carpenters square when making drapes to
get an accurate straight edge. I love frezer paper. I do
a lot of doll sewing. I trace the patterns on the dull side,
cut them out, and press on the wrong side of my fabrics.
The seam allowance is eliminated. Use an open toe foot
to sew around the pattern, then cut out your fabric. This
is wonderful for tiny arms and legs. You save yourself
much frustration trying to seam tiny things. Very accurate
too. I use a triple office wall large envelope holder to
store my rulers. It hangs on the wall next to my cutting
table. Brenda (qulitaholic) Wadesville In
