Do you know what OFLA means?

I grew up with my grannies both using scissors to cut everything and hand quilting at the quilting bees - when I took an interest in Quilting - it was mid 1980's - I bought my first rotary cutter and ruler - wow - then I found a Debbie Mumm book that showed how to sew strips together then rotary cut them apart - what a revolution. Unfortunately, I could not pursue quilting then - I worked all the time and what little money we had - wasn't enough for me to pursue it. Now almost 30 yrs later - I think I own every gadget and love my rotary cutters and rulers.

I didn't learn about rotary cutters until the 90's; I remember sitting as a young teen and spending hours with my grandma, laboriously scissor-cutting pinned layers of wool into squares for her quilts. I got pretty good at it and gained a deep appreciation for quality scissors, but once I started really doing my own quilting I found out about rotary cutting, and I have never looked back!! (I still have a love scissors though, I have to restrain myself from collecting them!)
