The Annual Christmas Wish List
 

Okay, gonna be a short Xmas this year, so lets everyone concentrate on
smaller, less expensive items. Unique, quilting related, but... what
YOU would like someone to give you.
I've already been told about one item for my brides list. (see link).

She needs a new ironing board cover? I don't think it will cover her
size board. :-)

How about a Martelli rotary cutter, Frank? The web site is at
http://www.martellicatalog.com/. The cutters look odd, but I'm in love
with mine! :)

They look nice, but what differentiates them from a standard cutter?

I would like some new bobbins (and have already asked for some more
Carol Doak FPP paper).

And enough time in the day to get everything done...

Not sure how small 'small' is. A new sewing chair would
be a nice gift. John is the expert on those. Sometimes
replacement items are great. Wander through the sewing
area and see what looks like a new one would work.
Maybe a fresh cutting mat? New Ginghers? A nice
assortment of pretty colored thread. Those Bernina
seam rippers are very sharp when brand new. A new
lamp for some part of the room? Go watch your bride
sew for awhile and see if you can pick up some ideas.
There was talk here on music to quilt with. Maybe a new
sound system or just a cd.

Watch her sew? Are you kidding? All that blood, screaming and
hollaring? She and daughter watch hockey whilst sewing.
I'm thinking of a Sid Crosby Fathead for the sewing room.

The pushing is easier. It's ergonomic, too, so your hand isn't at an odd
angle. I find it so much easier to use than the ones I've used in the
past -- just wish it were as pretty as my pink Olfa cutter! G Here's
what the site says:

"Problems with arthritis, carpel tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, hand
fatigue, neck or arm pain? Then the Martelli 2000 Rotary Cutter is the
only cutter for you! Unlike traditional rotary cutters, the Ergo Cutter
is held in a natural position with your arm and hand evenly distributing
all of the pressure. Cuts round, scalloped or patterned shapes. Safe,
automatic springloaded guard closes with a flip of a finger. "

I just know that cutting isn't nearly the *work* it used to be.

You didn't mention the most important part (to me). Is it easy to change
the blade or do you have to draw a diagram of what goes first and which side
goes down? Polly
