Cutting fabric always makes me nervous.
It is something I'm not great at and getting it accurate even with a rotary cutter is also not a strong point of mine. I'm a little like the old saying...can't draw a straight line even with a ruler. I can't seem to cut accurately even with the rotary cutter. And it's a whole other issue trying to keep the blades sharp-mine never seem as sharp as I see on the videos with the single pass through making a crisp sharp cut.
So should I buy this?
An Accuquilt is what I'm talking about. It isn't cheap and would mean an investment and a commitment to future quilts I would have to make to justify the purchase.
I do have a lot of cutting coming up. I purchased this fabric to make a quilt for our bed...the red, white and blue a nod to our Union Jack roots. ( Hubby being English born and the Union Jack was the provincial flag of my home province, Newfoundland and Labrador till 1980.)
I just have to settle on a pattern or patterns. More about that search in another post.
I'm debating. I could ask for it for my birthday.
What do you think? I understand there are several of these machines.
Is there one you would recommend??
While I ponder that, I've just put together lunch for us...bulgur, spinach, apple, cranberries, and pecans. That's a little goat cheese in my portion.
I made this little apple cider vinaigrette to coat it.
1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1/3 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons honey, a little salt and pepper.
Tasty!
And for the rest of the day...easy guess, stitching.
Happy Stitching All!
