Popular Post Dave Monk Posted August 2, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 I want to thank Lawson for inspiring me to make this pattern. I cut all the lettering except for the large with a spiral blade. The scribble font worked well because none of the letters were straight. I am far from a pro using spirals and I don't use them unless I have to. kmmcrafts, crupiea, lawson56 and 12 others 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Looks like a pro to me. You did you usual awesome job! There will come a day when spirals are just another tool in the box and you will be as comfortable using that tool as any other. I love spirals for many things, but they are just another size, type of blade, just like flat blades only different.... And, I say with a little practice you can cut just as straight a line with a spiral and you can with a flat blade... The only thing I have not been able to do with a spiral is make sharp pointed corners.... well, Charles Dearing (who says he has never used a flat blade) says he can and told how in something I watched several years ago, but doing as he says I am only successful about 30% or less of the time.

You are just too modest, Paul. You are about as good with spiral as anyone out there. I have seen so many amazing things you have cut with your spiral blades and because of your expertise, I am trying to do my work better. I know I will never reach the expertise that you have but don't slack off or, who knows, why down the road I may get just a little closer to being able to cut some of the things you have in your box in your basement.………. You are right, I never will get that good Dick heppnerguy Dave Monk and Scrappile 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) Dick, you are better than me a whole lot of scrolling levels. I practice to get good with flat blades because they are the most used tool and I understand why. If a person is good at only one type blade than they are handicapped. They all have their purpose. Person need to work at learning all. Edited August 3, 2018 by Scrappile heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Everything becomes easier with practice. The more effort one puts into trying new things the more versatile one is.
