I use the the Guidelines for Quilting strip grips. They work great!

Would be easier to use the weights for cutting than to use as intended. LOL

I use to have so much trouble cutting a perfect strip. My ruler always moved at the other end even if I was walking my hand as I cut. Donna of Jordan Fabrics puts a 5 lb weight on the other end of her ruler to hold it in place. I've been doing this for a week now and boy does it make a difference. :-)

I sent a thread on this a couple of weeks ago when I saw the Jordon's Fabric video on Cutting Corners. Her husband uses an 8 pound weight. I thought it was a great idea and bought one. It works great. I got mine at Target for $5.49.
By the way, I bought their pre-cut blocks in green/blue and did it at the quilting treat. It was very easy and makes a striking quilt. I would post it, but I haven't a clue on how to get a picture on this website. |
Hope these strips work - I am facing reverse shoulder replacement soon. Just ordered them.

A while ago someone mentioned a very light spray with adhesive underneath and allowed to dry would do the trick, but I haven't tried it out yet. You would have to ensure it was water soluble I think.
|
The weight is excellent use a can of whatever if you don't have anything else or a jar of sand, Quilter's select is excellent, Frosted Olfa are really good, suction handles help a lot.
|
I think another tip is to have your holding hand on the ruler and on the cutting board (to anchor it down). Less likely to slip that way.
