I've just been watching Jennie Rayment on UK Sky tv's Create and Craft and she was demonstrating TrueCut rotary cutters which are made to go with their rulers which have a lip on them so the cutter doesn't suddenly wobble and deviate. There was also a TrueCut blade sharpener demonstrated. Has anyone tried these - the concept looked interesting. The rulers were unbreakable too, and had lots of cut-outs in them which looked useful as well as aiding grip. I Googled and they are already available in the US.

For any UKers, I've looked if there is a repeat but there's not one listed (listings go up to next Friday), but today's was at 2.00pm -

3.00pm. Wonder if there will be another quilting programme next Sunday (Sky 671 | Freeview 36 | Freesat 813 - most of the progs. are never-ending cardmaking, but there is a Web-site -

They work hard at selling = there are either a lot of rich card-makers, or a lot of bankrupt ones!

There's a Rowenta over at Allbrands that does not have the auto-shutoff. Mine do better with jugs of drinking water rather than our well water. I know it is beneath our station in life but it is okay to read the directions that come with the iron and actually flush it out; about every 6 months might not be too often. Polly

Been saying this for years, Polly, with respect to Rowenta's. Mine do just fine using the tap water the directions say it needs. The other one wants distilled water. Having cord issues currently with both of my irons but no water issues with either. I think it's mainly the men- folk who don't read the directions.
