Me too, that sounds like a lot less hard work! I'm a huge fan of nitro?? Total brain block on what it's called but following the power sander incident I've been using that instead!0

Just looking at the doorstep tutorial, looks far too dependent on neat and acurate cutting for me, damn and they look so easy.
I bought some duck egg cushions in Sainsburys a couple of days ago as they had 75% off so were only £1.25 each and only want the insides but thought I could use the fabric to make those easy looking doorstops for some of my friends with that colour decor.0 -
oooh dont say that - I only have one more thing to cut and my cutting isnt 100% - think I need me one of those rotary cutters and quilters grid - but they are sooo expensive - may be a necessity though - so are ya gonna give it a go
