DH really doesn't like me to go to the Hardware store with him as I am always looking for something for my sewing room !LOL

Thanks. I will have to look for them tomorrow when I go to work (Lowes). I didn't think about quilting when I saw them earlier. Tomorrow is payday.

And to think that I used to actually work in the tools/hdwe department. Duh!

I found a T-square in the basement shop and since my spouse has passed, it will be perfect to cut straight ends of roll batting. Thank you for that clever hint.

Great idea. And so much more economical than Kay Buckley's $70.00 perfect tool!

Home Depot is where I bought my fabric cutting cordless shears--some people use the T square from there

The hardware store isn't just for men anymore. ;-)

I FOUND one of these laying in the intersection by our house. I took it home, washed it (and disinfected it) and it looks like brand new. Now it has my name on it & hangs in my sewing/craft room.

We were doing drywall and my DH asked if I could use the T ruler in my quilting room when we were done with it and of course I said yes. Haven't got to use it yet cause were still remodeling the house.
