Read it and shudder...

As for piercing the dough: This device is called in German a 'Stipprolle' or 'Igelrolle' or 'Brotigel' (translated 'dipping roll', 'hedgehog roll' or 'bread hedgehog'), to be obtained in many varieties at EBay, too. ( http://www.ebay.de/itm/Stipprolle-Ig...em 589a705495 ) Should Santa slip a little extra penny under the tree (don't need a sable, nor a convertible), I'll sit down to the 'puter and buy them this coming January. In case he doesn't, I'll buy them as soon as the household account has recovered from the holiday bleeding. ;-) Thank you all for your creative input, without it I'd never have gotten the idea of looking for the stuff.

Used for marking out tray bakes and cutting fudge. I did wonder if it would be any good for marking strips on fabric but never tried it. Shirley -- Shirley www.allcrafts.org.uk |

Pastry Wheel Eureka! (was: Read it and shudder...)
Howdy!
I think our quilter's rotary cutter came from the old pastry wheel http://tinyurl.com/nqf848w pizza cutter http://tinyurl.com/nt7p2ak and pattern wheel http://tinyurl.com/njmedbe I prefer the older tools for cutting food, less likely to cut myself. But: whatever works for you! ;-P Ragmop/Sandy - keeping some of the old hand tools for the novelty of them...
