Qtools Sewing Edge
Qtools Cutting edge
Both are respositionable vinyl stops and are reusable.
I bought mine from Alicia's Attic www.aliciasattic.com
There is another tool called Qtools Corner cut 60 to help you sew a perfect scant 1/2 inch. If you buy all three tools, look for the part of the website where all are sold together for a lesser price.
Good Luck and Happy Quilting!

Not great, but I'm still ... trying :D The quilting class teacher stated my material was very old and of cheaper quality (it was very old and probably cheaper as I bought it over 5 years ago when I was trying to teach myself to quilt). In the town I lived in, the only place to get material was at Walmart.
Here's a pic ... be easy :D

I am not great at sewing a straight line, and the cutting by hand I did wasn't great either ... but for my first time it wasn't as bad as I thought but sure can be a lot better.
I'm open for any suggestions on doing better the second time.
