I have the med size Fiskars punch and it is one inch across in the center from point to point. What size is the large and extra large across the center from point to point?

The extra large is 2 inches. Not sure what the large measures, I don't have that one. But if your medium is 1", and my XL is 2", then I'd guess the large is 1.5".

Hopefully, your surgery recovery won't be any worse than my sister's. She had a complete hysterectomy (laproscopic) and did very well. She went to a swap meet about 10 days later. Prayersfrom the gulf for speedy recovery.

A thimble, maybe?

I use the Poka Dots for my go bag instead of a thimble. I have lost too many thimbles on the go!

Thanks Peckish for the picture. I think the large size is what I want. Next time I'm at JoAnns with a coupon I'll get it.

Peckish, my local Michaels has them (no Joanns in Canada) and I plan to pick one up tomorrow. Thanks for showing the size on your ruler. That was very helpful!

I use the ziploc bag method too. The only thing I haven't heard mention is that I use the Clover round necklace thread cutter. It looks like a medallion and cuts thread like a charm. I have it attached to a ribbon around my neck when I sew, no poking or dropping the scissors.
