Do you stitch in the ditch or use a decorative stitch on the front? I too have problem hands.
LOL It would take me twice as long to cut the edges evenly as it does to zip around with a long basting zigzag. I'm not a fast cutter and not sure how straight I'd get it since it can't be folded and sliced with my shape cutting ruler. LOL
