SUMMARY- Boy do I love this designer. The first book I got of hers was "Block Magic" and I was so jazzed by it I decided I would get all of her books when I came across them. Her title for this one had me going "Meh. But it's Nancy Johnson-Srebro so I'm going to get it anyway." Yeah, I'm naive. This book is AWESOME. She takes all the mystery out of rotary cutters and those thick clear plastic rulers with all the yellow markings you'll see in the quilting aisle of your local fabric shops. Being a sewer, I've always used tissue paper patterns or templates I've cut out of cardstock or plastic butter tub lids if I needed something more permanent. She does a superb job of walking you through every step of using the rotary cutter. I'm really surprised mom didn't have this book in her collection. If you're like me and haven't used the rotary cutter, find a copy of this book. Check out the Table of Contents below the cover picture, and you'll see what I mean.
