[Nfb-krafters-korner] FW: Clarification

Mon Apr 6 18:09:06 UTC 2009

Can you describe this knife.  Does it fold up?  Will it help get bumps
off canvus.  I have a hard time getting those bumps for counting off
with my nails.  I have a friend cut out my pieces.  I can not even cut a
strait line, because of my epelepsi.  I usually make a sample or just
give her the dimentionsin squares.  She is great!  I can leave the job
with her and pick it up in a day or two.  

Let me know if anyone going to convention or if by mail, wants an NFBKK
book mark or NFB key chain.
The book marks are made to order and the key chains will be in red or
royal blue, unless other wize requested. 
Book marks $5, key chains, $10.  Add $2 for shipping if you will not be
at convention.

Terry
Sorry, I forgot about sale day.

if I have jagged edges I use an exacto knife to clean them up. I get
some nice straight edges doing that.
