I wish the guy I paid a few hundred dollars to to do my cutting for me last time thought like that. He didn't. Sometimes he left up the 1/4 inch extra, sometimes he cut up to 1/4 inch too much, making for rather interesting assembly, especially because my underwear design does not get serged, so Farwa and I did a lot of trimming on the assembled panties. Needless to say, for the next patch I will just go and buy a knife and pay someone to help me lay out the fabric (it gets heavy :) ) Well, and then there is the fact that I mark with Crayola markers....can't leave THAT showing lol I totally understand the cutting the lines off, to me it made sense.

Darn! About the B rullers, they are wonderful again because of being so flexible. You learn something new every day I say. Thanks again for all the really good info.

I'm one of those that has a BS in apparel and I was never taught to cut off the edge of patterns (!) Once you explained it, it makes TOTAL sense. Thanks for teaching me what my professors didn't.

And thank you for the cutting AWAY tip, and the HK posts! I love the site and its refreshingly tonic, stroppy tone. :o) What’s funny to me about this is that I showed up for my first quilting class a few months ago….with B-95 in optimistic hand, only to have to buy a quilting ruler immediately–they gave me a 10% discount, but still I was peeved; I kept waving my flexible little ruler around telling everyone how it was the best ruler ever.

I should have thought of it myself, but didn't. OK, so I’m really really late to the party, but thank you for that (obvious in retrospect) tip about cutting.

They are about a buck more from and I found mine at staples in the technical drawing/drafting section. BTW they do teach you proper cutting and marking on the first day still but so many turn up late ;) Staedtler makes a thinner version of the b95/85 which is nice bc they bend round curves better and dont shatter as much.
