Invaluable

Nancy has taken all the "fear" of figuring of the math as to what size to cut for a certain size of a triangle,etc... thank you, Nancy!

Excellent Book

I teach rotary cutting and HIGHLY recommend this book as I teach out of it. Sure there may be easier ways to make half-square triangles, but is the best rotary cutting reference book I have seen in all my years of quilting.

rotary math

I also got this book for a class in basic rotary cutting. For the price it's wonderful. She tells you the math formula you need and the layout is realy great. A name, photo, formula, hints for cutting, etc. all on one page for each shape. And the star patterns in the back are beautiful. I wish she included some of the shortcuts though, like sewing 2 squares together, drawing a line on the diagonal and sewing 1/4 inch from line on both sides then cutting to make 2 half trianges...it would make the book so much more useful. I paid $$$ just for a pamphlet on what size to cut for what finished size...this one tells you the formula and includes some projects as well. I give it a 4 for content and value. Beginners would gain the most from it.
