I am a little hesitant to try them so I'll either make a few sample blocks or see if there is a class around here. That is if I can find my templates, fabric, etc. in all the packing! I love the heart. Very clever. Can't wait to see what spin you put on yours because I know you will!!!Miss Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06856562175207518634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-78403882160351030502012-06-13T11:52:24.203-05:002012-06-13T11:52:24.203-05:00That's very cool!

The smaller size will give you a little more control when stopping and starting, and that will help you not cut too far past the end of the template. There's a bit of "extra" between the squares so you can go a little past it but you don't want to go way past it. <br /><br />The sharp blade will also help with the control since you won't need to apply a whole lot of pressure to cut, important since you're cutting across seams and don't want to have to "saw" at anything. :)<br /><br />I haven't made anything with the bigger Twister rulers but I love the two small ones... the teeny tinys. <br /><br />I love Salt Air. I look forward to seeing your Twist and Salt. Salty Twist? Hurricane? (All that salt air twisting in the wind.) Okay, I'll stop. :)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10214039320694183844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-60520232100945270272012-06-13T10:07:01.942-05:002012-06-13T10:07:01.942-05:00I have the lil twister too and just used it not to...I have the lil twister too and just used it not too long ago. I made new couch pillows out of my trial run. It came out cute. I would love to learn how to do different layouts with the template. the heart is a great layout.
