Gripper

Hi all,
There is a small gripper that also works great for small hands and small rulers. It is cheaper than the larger gripper.
A similar small gripper is available in a different color at HF, Harbor Freight that is even cheaper than the purple small gripper. You can get two (at the cheaper price) for almost the price of one (at the fabric store price) for those on limited budgets.
The grippers combined with the ruler guards, gloves and shoes are well worth the money spent to avoid injury. Another word of warning is to stop cutting when you get tired. It's better to wait until rested to continue.
