It's VERY IMPORTANT to match everything, especially if it's the person who made the line selling it! Get it?? If I'm Fons &Porter, I want ALL your $$$, "don't you go & buy a June Taylor shape cutter"!!! LOL!!

In fact, I don't worry about anything at all: just pray, play, have fun, sing, quilt, say a rosary, read, do nothing, do everything at once, whatever I'm in the mood for! Do not worry! Part of quilting (for me) is that it's relaxing and helps me to forget or deal with my worries.

You got the right attitude, if we all quilted with this attitude we would all be happy and no one would have high blood pressure .LOL :P

Gosh... I hope not. I have trouble matching my socks!

I use whatever my hand falls on... or fits the job. Green ones, yellow ones, clear ones, frosted ones. I DO, however, always use the same ruler or same brand of ruler during one project. UNLESS it's a WIP. If it's a WIP, then I have no stinking clue about which ruler or which cutter... or sometimes, which fabric I was using or planning to use!

My mind... a scary place to be! :mrgreen:
