Back to the Basics
Here is a picture of basic tools that I use for most of my sewing projects. When I started quilting years ago ( a long long time!!! 33 years), I used to cut out templates from cardboard and my measurements weren't always exact. I had some disasters along the way but how else do you learn, right? The tools I use now are so much easier, exact and gets me to the finished product oh-so-much faster. What is pictured is a self-repairing cutting board that is marked in a grid, a transparent straight edge, rotary cutters in two sizes and little nine-patch scrap block. Also pins in a magnetic holder ( I always dropped and spilling pins all over the floor -- this helps to eliminate that).
