You must be cold. Thanks! I thought about getting the Block loc because there’s so much buzz about it but I already have the Slotted trimmer and I use Quilt in a Day’s triangle trimmer the most. I think I don’t need any more. Haha. Thanks again and have a safe 😂wonderful 4Th with the kiddos. ❤
I appreciate that you still use a regular ruler to trim lord knows even those are expensive but the “special ones are even more ridiculous in price n you still only use them for 1 thing at least a regular ruler can be used multiple ways ty Steph for always being kind and considerate hugs n happy Fourth of July sweet friend
@@StephaniesStitches ty @stephaniesStitches I appreciate your compliment and encouragement not too shabby for a beginner lol I’m proud of myself none of them I had patterns for I figured it out myself n have learned a much from you and a few others here on RU-vid ty for all you do
The Slotted Trimmers are WAY less expensive than the block-locs. One can trim 11 sizes for about $35 with the Slotted Trimmers, but to get 11 sizes with the block-loc it would cost over $100.
I’d love to see the triangle papers, I’ve heard a lot about them. It’s nice to know my regular rulers do just fine, there’s always a new tool that brings keeping up with the Jones to quilting!😅
The Clearly Perfect Slotted trimmers is the one that FINALLY made my brain click on how to make the HST. Regular rulers just couldn't work on my brain for some reason. One thing I do when using the CPST is if it doesn't matter to the design of the HST, I line the ruler up on one side and just make one cut vs two...because I am OOOOOBER lazy. 😜😜I also don't do the dog ear piece with my trimmer because it makes me cringe when my blade hits the sides. Just can't help it from hitting since the slots are so small. I just trim those with scissors. I love them so much I have them in all available sizes. I also have the triangle paper but I don't think to grab them until after I have already sewn them up.
I liked how quick it was when you did the HST by sewing around the sides and then cutting on the diagonal. My only concern is that you are then dealing with a lot of bias edges. Has this ever been a problem for you?
Thank you. I like using the Bloc Loc to trim when making oversize HST. I CG 45/90* to cut the hst out and sew directly for exact size. When I can cut and sew 1/4” correctly I don’t need to trim at all. I’m using this for week 2 of FWFS Simply Summer.
