for that purpose you just need 8 wedges, to line them up against each other.

I went to lowes yesterday...I bought a piece for $8 and I have a 12, 10,
6, 4 and a couple of ruler pieces....I still have some left.....so if I need more...I can go back....they gave me some scrap pieces also. I put paper stickers on mine and now will put some small pieces of sandpaper so there is no slipping :D great buy :wink:

Fantastic! Mine were completely accurate, they even recut when they weren't accurate the first time. Not a problem at all.
I've also been making diaper bags, big tote bags with an acrylic insert to stabilize the bottom (instead of cardboard, which could get wet and icky). I saw Clothilde had the inserts for $7.95 in today's catalog, Lowe's will cut them also! 3 for about $4. Much better buy, and now a washable and sturdy bottom to the bag.
I love this! I wish I had thought of it earlier.
