The idea is you put it where you want to cut - like on the 2.5" line, then you line your fabric up and it butts against the orange thing. It was kinda cool at first, but after 2 uses, it lost its sticky. Supposedly it works with static electricity... I dunno, but even the ones I haven't used don't work.

Many magazine subscriptions were a waste for me, especially the ones without a spine so I can't even find them in my bookshelf!
I'm sure you guys have others - share before I make my Christmas list!
(P.S. the notion I love the most is my magnetic pin holder!)

The Clover mini iron was a purchase I thought was useless until I found out the iron has to be turned on and brought to high heat several times before it will reach max temp. After preheating the iron six or more times it gets very hot every time now and works great Same goes for some flat and curling irons for hair. Electricity acts the way it wants to. :lol:

I could not live without my magnetic pin cushions. I have 3 of them, I keep 1 on my ironing board, 1 on my cutting table and 1 next to my sewing machine.
In case anyone needs "more" notions, I was at Hancocks and they are all 50% off. There is an additonal 10% off from 8am to 10am on Thursday moring for their Veterans Day sale.
