I also did not know that Lowe's cut plexi to size. I will definitely be stopping by.
Thanks for the heads-up.

Your VERY welcome! They cut it any size you want!
But when you're trying to square up (a ton of) odd-sized blocks, like 13.75" (for whatever reason), it's certainly worth the money for a square that exact size. I used to go a local Lucite place to get them cut, but they went out of business.
I also did not know that Lowe's cut plexi to size. I will definitely be stopping by.
Thanks for the heads-up.

Good Idea!
I never thought of doing that! What a great idea. I would like to have one for each common block size...

They have always cut mine to any size I wanted before. The last time that I went there the lady very rudely told me that they only have to cut it once. I need it cut a few times. She cut it twice and before I could say I needed the length shorter she pretty much ran away.

WOW! I didn't have a problem at all.....she made 2 cuts on each of my tempates.....she was very nice about it too! She even asked why I wanted the sizes I asked for...I did tell her for quilting....now in hind sight......maybe they will raise the prices....or be out of stock...much like Harbor Freight and the carpet blades for the rotary cutters!
