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). http://www.thisnext.com/item/95235D6...ng-Board-Cover She needs a new ironing board cover? I don't think it will cover her size board. :-) Frank Reid |

The Annual Christmas Wish List
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. Taria "Frank Reid" wrote in message ...

She and daughter watch hockey whilst sewing. I'm thinking of a Sid Crosby Fathead for the sewing room. Frank Reid |

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.

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 "Sandy" wrote How about a Martelli rotary cutter, Frank?
