 | Blog Title: Jan Krentz: Rotary Cutters (12/12/2009) | | | cbsquilts Says: | | | February 02, 2010 at 12:34 pm | | | | Currently I have about 30+ rulers. The larger ones are stored in a large (custom) shallow drawer, and the smaller ones vertically in a small "milk crate" plastic box. I strongly dislike the yellow lined rulers. The fat yellow color is most distracting to me. I prefer clear, unfrosted, with fine black lines. I also strictly avoid those with large logos or instructions. Inevitably, those logos are just where you don't want them. I also find a long lipped ruler perfect for longer strips. The invisigrip product works incredibly well to avoid slippage. I have many cutting boards and have found that I very much prefer the colorless translucent type. The added bright colors of some mats is distracting to making fine color choices and adds much to the visual clutter of a sewing space when you want, indeed, need the fabric colors to take prominance. |

Watching your videos about rotary cutting, rulers, and mats reminds me to make sure when I am teaching them that I make the effort to give them the basics before they begin a quilt. Thanks for reminding me to teach what has become second nature to me. |

I have 're-learned" lot's of things! |

I live in Searsport and have seen your name on emails from the Belfast quilt guild. Now I have "met" you on TQS. These instructional videos are so so helpful and although I have been sewing a LONG time, there is always something new to learn. I especially loved the three piece traveling cutting mat - how clever. I had to smile when you mentioned the larger the rotary cutter blade the less frequently it needs to be changed - a very Maine idea. That will be my next purchase. I look forward to new videos from your wealth of knowledge and experience. Beth |

We quilters who have been quilting for a long time forget that things we consider second nature had to be taught to us at some time. I applaud your effort Jan, You Go Girl !!!! Betty Ann In Fl. |
