I have...I have never seen the need for a big board. I have been sewing since 1965 and quilting since 1977. I press as I go in making quilts. I don't open up the fabric before I rotary cut it for quilt blocks. I always wash, dry and press my fabric before cutting. When strips are cut and then sub-cut into squares, rectangles, triangles, etc. I start at the selvage edge and by the time I get to the fold it is usually cut off too short after cutting my pieces to make any problem. Sometimes there is enough left to cut another piece the size I want so I open it up , press and cut one more piece. Maybe I'm missing something I need to learn about how a big board is used. Any ideas?nankchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00993973399619650264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16161546.post-68447820514974163162007-09-23T18:10:00.000-07:002007-09-23T18:10:00.000-07:00Kim..you have inspired me to get DH to make me one...Kim..you have inspired me to get DH to make me one also.
