lol-Tartan I just couldn't figure how to mark in nine places evenly. My brain can't be pushed that hard-lol- I think I understand. I don't have any quilting rulers yet, but a friend has one she offered me to try. She has the LA in a frame. I don't. Mine is in a cabinet so will be different for me. If I can't use it then she said she saved me some money which is true. I think hers is the Versa tool. She may have more. Yours may be like an orange peel shape.....I'm thinking.
