"These are amazing! I first saw them on the tutorial for the Fireworks Finale quilt and immediately purchased them. They make it so easy to get the square the exact size needed, and it goes faster because you cut before ironing. I have used them on several other quilts, and they are a game changer! Thank you for featuring them!"

I love the trimmers; they make life a lot easier. I loved Misty’s Galaway Bay quilt, so I am making that now. I also loved the card quilt, so I made one. There is a lot less trimming in the end, and they come out the right size and easier.

Perfect HST trimmer

I saw a video where this trimmer was used and it looked so easy! No ironing open and lining up to trim all sides. This was perfect, easy to use and produces the perfect HST. I’m so glad I made the purchase. Tackling 288, 2 1/2” HST in current project with confidence in accuracy.
