They are "very" comfortable. For most of my adult life, I have been perpetually searching for two items that are essential to my existence : a purse that is both functional and stylish a truly erasable fabric marking tool.

I haven't been so lucky with the purse. For me, the problem with most marking pencils is the chalky, waxy lead that breaks too easily when sharpened to a fine point. I re-sharpen, only to have it break again. This mechanical pencil has. If the lead breaks, simply advance the lead. According to the package, the "strong ceramic 0. The pencil includes an eraser refill erasers are also available. I bought the pencil at Jo-Ann. But, I'm a sucker for sewing paraphernalia.

It does what I want it to do and, for that reason, it's worth the money. So far, this pencil is working for me, but as always, I recommend the user test first. I tested this pencil thoroughly and it performed quite well. I bought this tool, but I have gone back to my original way of sewing on a binding. It is a method developed by Maria Lage, a quilting teacher and speaker from Rhode Island.

Her method is used by Rhode island and Connecticut quilters who learn of her method mostly through her workshops. Her method too does not address STEP 4, and I sometimes had difficulty with that, but the rest of her method is very easy and foolproof. I find it more straightforward than the Fons and Porter tool. I do thank you for the tip on STEP 4. Maria's method involves cutting off 2 inches of the end of the folded binding after binding is attached make sure you have enough at the end , opening it up and placing the unfolded 2 inch long piece on the bottom binding the start of the binding , then trimming the top binding to match the bottom binding.

I use the Fons and Porter square only to draw the diagonal sewing line. It is convenient for that since it is so small and fits in that space nicely. Thanks very much - exactly what I needed! I love that this tool was the motivation for starting a blog. Post a Comment Thanks for dropping by - I'd love to hear what you think, so please leave me a comment!

When I started quilting again this summer, my first project was to quilt up a flimsy that my mother had left when she passed away suddenly in I went to the LQS to pick up some backing and batting, and I was very interested in looking around to see what kind of innovations had been released in the quilting world over the past decade-plus. I was especially interested in anything that made binding easier, since I harboured deep-seated anxiety about those dang mitred corners which I've got licked now, huzzah.
