Qtools Sewing 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.
I checked this tie and understand how the sewing edge works but how would the cutting edge help? can you explain it to us there is not much on the website. and the seam allowance one as well.
