[Nfb-krafters-korner] wool yarn

[Denise Shaible]

Well, I found the colors beautiful but, I'm still uncomfortable using 100% 
wool.  Does anyone know if the colors are in any other type of yarn?  What 
about cottlin?

Also, I'm intrigued by this fabric cutting machine.  I'll be honest with 
everyone, I've stayed away from quilting and making things where I had to 
cut material because I can't cut things straight.  this makes me wonder how 
the machine works and whether or not the cutting is straight.  Wow!  The 
things I learn from folks on this list.  Thanks.  Hey, could we have a 
demonstration of the cutter on a Monday night chat or has that been done? 
Just wondering.

Regards,

Denise

Cindy, I have no light perception so see nothing at all.  I use it
independently, without any aid from others.
It is simple, easy and most of all safe.  Short of dropping it on your foot,
it is unlikely anyone could get hurt using it.   I simply cut my fabric in
strips to fit the die and then cut away.
The squares, triangles and other shapes are perfect every time.  I will tell
you more about it but am on my way to a quilt shop that is closing their
doors on Saturday, looking for a good buy.  Hugs, JoAn
