    I'm sure they'll work. But if you already have a basic understanding of the concept, it seems like a lot of extra work.

    If you just took the sheet and slapped it on the fabric, fine.

    But you have to measure the distance and cut the paper.
    I think it's just as easy to draw a line yourself.

    Or use the Angler2 thingie. I really like that notion.

    I also like the Angler2 tool. I have it taped to my sewing machine bed and use it all the time.

    They work great. I didn't measure the diagonal with a ruler, just laid down the first strip, marked it and then cut a bunch of them at one time. They were a real time saver. Plus, I didn't need to buy a different package for each size I wanted.

    Man, I must be really tired.

    Would the MC in MCLD be the Marin & Colusa of this company?

    Interesting post history:

    a lot of people promote their business here, this person is not the first nor will he/she be the last.

    as long as admin permits the behavior it shall always continue.

    I don't mind/care if they're promoting it.
    But I dislike when they're not upfront about it.

    eta: btw, there are rules for people promoting their businesses on this site.

    "in other words, are you a genuine board member who just happens to also own a business?"
    Hardly.

    But the fact that someone is trying to engage me in a conversation about how "great" this product is without full disclosure - that ain't cool in any venue.

    I am sure there are people who will like this product, I wouldn't spend what little money I have on it...

    I can see this method as helpfull, but I would concider using my copier and print my own paper guides. Just make a master sheet and print as needed. - I tend to eyeball most of my sewing unless it starts to finish poorly. Then I find the guides and patterns handy.
