I started trimming my HSTs about a week ago, but I was using a fussy cut ruler and it was very slow going.
There’s a hump on one side of the seam because you’ve ironed the seam allowance to one side. That causes the the ruler to seesaw a bit and you have to be very careful to apply even pressure; so, it doesn’t shift. I was not happy.
I heard about a ruler especially designed to trim HSTs because it has a “well,” so to speak, that locks down on that hump and prevents the seesawing and shifting.
I ordered it. It came yesterday.
Last night, I tried it out on a few of the HSTs. I was instantly impressed.
Fourteen down; 142 to go.
MK out.
