I have a simular proplem. I line my ruler up then ask my husband to just hold it in place for me. Do you think that might help?

My fatherinlaw had the same thing. He had a deep brain stimulator implanted and this worked great. It is something like a pacemaker and used a powerful maganet to turn it on and off. You are awake during surgery so that they know they have hit the right spot. He turned his on of a morning and off at bedtime. It sure made a difference in his lifestyle, might check into this,

Perhaps you could write or call Fiskars. I would think they would have a 'customer relations dept' - and explain your problem and see if they would send you one at a discounted price..... and if so, maybe after using, you could give them and us a recommendation for folks with problems like yours. Wouldn't hurt to try as it would be expensive to purchase and have it not be usable. Good luck.

What a marvelous idea Granny! I think I will do that today and see what becomes of it. I could be part of their research & development team, perhaps some of the other board members who are afflicted with this disease or any other movement disorder could benefit in the same way. Definitely worth a try, thank you.

My favorite part of quilting is cutting. I know, I'm probably the only one. I have many UFOs that are all cut out only! If you would like, I would love to cut for you. I could do it in a day or two. Right now my right hand is weak, but shortly it should be fine and I could help you! I would love to help you!!!

The concurrent thread "Great news from Fiskar" notes that Fiskar will be putting out their ruler/rotary cutter combo once again, and also mentions the one listed above at Quilt in a Day, but for $20 less! http://webstore.quiltropolis.net/sto...3&Item_ID=8117

susanprincess - it's not the same brand as fiskars is it?

I was going to suggest that. Can you join a quilting group or guild? I'm know for a fact someone will jump in and do your cutting. Maybe you can trade with them if they don't like to do something like the binding. (just an example)
I know I'd be more than willing to help

I had hand surgery and could not cut ofr quite sometime. I found a person, (I think on ebay of all places) who did cutting for me. I had to mail her the fabric and directions and in a very short time I received my pieces. I thought her price was very reasonable. I can pride you with her name and contact information if you wish.
