no plastic templates for fussy cutting
I haven't seen this tip before, so thought i'd share it. Instead of creating plastic templates and using permanent marker to map portions of fabric for fussy cutting, i came upon the idea of using Vis-a-Vis wet erase markers and my regular omnigrid rulers. Just put the ruler over the part you want to fussy cut, outline sufficiently for pattern match-up, and use the wet erase marker to outline. Give it a couple of minutes to dry and you're good to go. Now it will smudge if you keep touching the mark - but i just try to make sure that i have enought space around the guidelines to hold the ruler while i cut. This works well for my "kaleidescope" dresden plates too. When you're done - just use a damp tissue to wipe the marks off your ruler. Attached picture is a sample. Not saying this will work for every project - but it can be a time and money saver.[ATTACH=CONFIG]348703[/ATTACH]
