[Nfb-krafters-korner] NIH Terry?

[Heather Kirkwood]

Terry, I was looking at your e-mail address. Do you work at NIH? It's one of my stops on my trip. I'm not going as a patient this time. I've been asked to serve on a committee for the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. I'm not sure where at NIH the meeting will be. I'm usually at the Clinical Center when I'm there, but NIH is a huge place!

I just got my Accuquilt so I don'tdon't have any experience with it.  

I don't know how we could do a demo on Monday Night Chat. 

Let me think about this and see if we could work something out in March on  
a Monday night.

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
