[@KimberlyNichols]

Love your accordion technique! When trimming the HSTs before pressing, do they get distorted when you press?

[@jaciqltz]

for somebody who does not like the LINE, you sure used it a lot...lines are good!

[@BeautifulOaks]

Thank you for the great techniques and tool demonstration. I am in the process of buying the Clearly Perfect Slotted Trimmer and a rotary cutter. Would you please share which size rotary cutter you used with the slotted trimmer? Thanks very much!

[@jhwilliams6550]

It looks like a 28 mm. I love mine for doing smaller cuts.

[@amysteed1828]

Love this method - so much fun! But a safety note, PLEASE don't set down a rotary cutter with the blade exposed. I kept waiting for you to bump up against that sharp, sharp blade. Ouch!
