A Lil Twister Question....
#31
This sounds like an idea to be thought about! If it doesn't interfere with any of the other cuts in the other rows in any way, you have become a genius! It would be a great time saver also.
The one I am working on now is almost all the way cut out. If anyone else on the board tries it, please let us know.

I use the little 28mm rotary cutter. Be careful to not cut to far past your corners as you might be cutting into your next piece .You might not see it until you go to sew them into the pinwheel and it might not be covered in the quarter inch seam. Ask me how I know this? They are so much fun, but pay attention when cutting. Hope this makes sense to you.

I am working on the Christmas wreath for my first little twister project. The cutting was frustrating! for sure! Mine were so ragged on some of the edges that I ended up squaring them with a 3 1/2" ruler before sewing together. The problem seemed to be that the little twister was too high off the fabric. I had wondered about the pencil/scissors method and may try that next time. Also, as someone mentioned, practice may be all I need!
