Really Easy Half Square Triangle Blocks
#51
I tend to be a creature of habit and don't stray far from what I am used to. I have looked at them but haven't tried one yet. I might have to get one and try it.
I used to do everything by hand and was very nervous of having to do all on the machine when I started selling 12 years ago. I decided to buy a rotary cutter and wasn't sure I wanted to use one as I felt by hand was more accurate. But I tried it and after a while I wouldn't do it any other way. So it would probably be the same with this smaller one too. I might like it more than I think. I dont' like the cutters that are the kind you press the handle down to engage the blade. I started with a Fiskars and I can't stand any thing else. I tried my friend's cutter the kind I described above and I wouldn't want one.
I think those are an Olfa brand maybe? I'll stay with my Fiskars!

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one to do that! Thinking inside my own box...lol. I will look at directions for something and say to myself 'wouldn't it be easier to....' then I convince myself that the person writing the directions is the 'expert' and would be doing things the right way and I'm just being silly thinking of different ways.
I once got a 50% on a pharmceutical test in LPN school because I had all the right answers but hadn't figured them out the way the instructors had showed us....MY way was much easier, but they didn't care! lol
Have a great day!
