I put my own grips on the bottom. The larger twister does have thicker legs and does make it hard for cutting. I think I will take those legs off and just use some thin grips that I use on the backs of pictures.

this the way I cut and put them together too...I find it easier in my sewing area to start cutting from the bottom. I don't know why I just started doing it that way so I didn't have some hanging off the cutting table and then layed them in order at the sewing machine and then built from the bottom up....

this is the 6½ without borders, its at the quilters now
