Make Do!

I am working on this month’s Schnibble pattern, Dulcinea.  I don’t have all my rulers here in the apartment, so I had to run over to Joann’s, darn it, to get the one I needed to trim the blocks.

I trimmed one block and the size and slipperiness of the little 3 1/2” square ruler, made it hard to hold the ruler still while trimming the block.

So, I looked around here for something I could use to make the back of it less slippery.

I found this package of seam guide strips my dear friend Linda just gave us at bee last weekend!

So, I placed one strip on each edge of the ruler…trimming them to fit exactly.

And it really worked perfectly- kept the ruler in place and prevented it from slipping at all!!
