'Fiber optic' rules and shapes by Springfield A new development in laser technology means that the markings on the rule stand out as if illuminated. The grid is digitally etched below the surface so that it does not wear off like older screen printed rules. The surface of the ruler is treated so that it slightly grips the fabric for surer positioning and less slip. 24" piecing rulers (6)  1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0, 2.25, 2.5.  $27.90 Hexagons (6)  5.5" to 8.0"  $27.80 Triangles for hexagons (5)  1" to 5" (bases 1" to 3")  $18.00  Squares (small) (7)  1" to 3"  $18.50 Circles small (9)  1' to 5"  $18.50  Which is the best cutter to use? Kay is often asked which is the best cutter to use. The answer is obviously "the one which suits you best. " This will depend on how much you intend to use it and how much you want to spend. All the cutters on sale work well but most serious quilters select one with a blade size of at least 45mm. Kay uses an Olfa delux as shown. It now retails at $33.50.   Although it is one of the more expensive, she has found that it is easier on her wrist and less tireing to use - but then she cuts a lot of fabric. The axle appears to resist wear better than some other brands. The cutter can be set up for left and right hand cutting and the double safety lock is an important consideration for parents of small children (and big ones and husbands too).
