lol! Thanks for bringing a smile to my face! Made my 1st quilt back in the old days of the 60's, drawing cutting lines with a pencil & sometimes a yard stick. Using scissors & getting a hand cramp. When rotary cutters first came out a friend had one & raved about it. I tried hers & said "nice but I'd never want it". Right-now I can't do without one.

Back in '79, $35 was worth a lot more...

Oh my, I just couldn't stop watching. This is incredible.
So much work, yet she made it look so easy. This was worthwhile watching. Thanks. |

Fun to watch. I'm glad we have all of our tools to work with. I don't think she made too much profit selling them so reasonably.

Michael, Thank you for posting this site. It reminded me of when we used to meet at our 4-H leaders house and we were being taught to sew. Everything thing was hand made. Templates, stencils and the hand made quilting racks. Everyones was slighty different to accomidate the person space to quilt. Thank you for beinging back long forgotten memories. :D

Thanks for the video. I can remember cutting with scissors. Her precision was fantastic! Wish I had that knowledge! Hopefully, we can all learn from this.
|
That was so awesome. She was delightful to watch. When I hand quilted I hung my frame from the ceiling too.
|
WOW, that is such a great video, it sure brings back a lot of child hood memories, my mom use to make her quilts the same way. Thanks so much for sharing.

I still do a majority of my cutting with scissors I forget I have a rotary cutter til I'm all but done The only gadgets I have is scissors -seam rippers and my basically new rotary and lots of straight and safety pins. Now I'm wondering if I should have more gadgets.--please tell me I'm not OLD :cry:
