Handy reference guide
This handy-sized reference tool features Omnigrid products; mainly the rotary cutter, mat, and rulers. Nancy teaches you basic tips for accurate fabric cutting including understanding grain lines and squaring-up fabric. All directions are designed for both left and right-handed cutting methods. The main focus is to learn how to cut 18 different geometric shapes. The easy to read diagrams show everything from basic squares, rectangles and triangles, to more angular shapes such as diamonds, trapezoids, and octagons. All diagrams include seam allowances. As a visual bonus, each geometric shape is pictured in two different block settings. At the end of the book, is a problem-solving guide to troubleshoot common rotary cutting predicaments. This is a great introductory tool to utilize for the practice of cutting accurate, geometric shapes prior to making your first traditional quilt.
