I just finished a quilt where it worked best to press seams open because it was too bulky otherwise. Had lots and lots of HST to trim and the Bloc Loc would have been nice but I figured it wouldn't work in this case. What do you think?Anne / Springleaf Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06114887911414187175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049028683848104380.post-31106411038475096112013-08-15T11:44:47.295-06:002013-08-15T11:44:47.295-06:00Wonderful, thank you so much for all of the inform...Wonderful, thank you so much for all of the information and links.Marahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18423053931750504850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049028683848104380.post-1941710086403997622013-08-15T09:20:38.317-06:002013-08-15T09:20:38.317-06:00Such a great post, thank you for sharing!Such a great post, thank you for sharing!Stitchifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07945447130958060129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049028683848104380.post-4934292142578625342013-08-14T19:46:11.206-06:002013-08-14T19:46:11.206-06:00Great info....thanks.Great info....thanks.MariQuiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024634370648175612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049028683848104380.post-5922377807405626422013-08-14T15:47:41.515-06:002013-08-14T15:47:41.515-06:00Great post!

I have the Quilt in a Day rulers, but haven't tried them yet. This post gives me hope and confidence. I think I will give them a try and if I don't just LOVE them, try the Bloc Loc.
