Yes, remember when...and that makes me appreciate all the newer conveniences even more! Can't imagine cutting everything with scissors anymore! I bought one of the first rotary cutters that came out (and it sat in my drawer for quite awhile as I was scared to use it and no one I knew at that time had one to show me how to use it!) I did quilting many years with scissors, templates, and hand-stitching. Quilting has come a long way!
