My friends helped me move my AccuQuilt Studio cutter to a new location on Monday. It had been in a cramped location without good lighting. The folding table under the other table will be the storage surface for the other steel tray and also a place to lay the cutting plastic pieces when I remove them after cutting. I have one die storage box with wheels under the table and another that I haven't brought down there yet.
These 2 groups of partially designed colorwash pieces were on the table that I had to clean off for the cutter. I need to get the smaller one (the squares) up on the design wall and finish it this week. I think it just needs one more row around it. The other one (the rectangles) will take awhile to finish so I may wait until later in the month to work on it.
When cleaning off 2 shelves of the bookcase to make room for the small dies I came across these 2 things. The one on the left is half of a project. I have no idea where the bag is with the rest of the pieces so it may become a table runner. On the right is 20 blocks that will finish at 6". It would only be 24" x 30" if I sew them together. I guess that is big enough for a quilt to use with a baby carrier or a car seat. There are 2 piles of "stuff" to put away yet too.
I have a question about your cutter - how do you clean the dies? Specifically when fabric "threads" get caught by the blades? Mine is new and I don't want to just dig around in there and possibly hurt the blade.
You must be so organized, I like the binder clips keeping your little squares organized! I think one of those cutters may be in my future. My shoulders just can't take the cutting I need to do anymore.

The squares secured with binder clips are pretty all in a row!
ReplyDeleteWorking areas always need to be shifted to work. Looks like it will work better for you. Chris
ReplyDeleteI notice your weather gadget says it's 13 degrees where you are, but I think the spring cleaning bug has got you!
