Felt Cutting Secrets

[Mike and Jane Spalding]

Terry,

For straight cuts, I have a 24" SSTL straight edge with cork glued to the
bottom.  Makes a good non-skid surface for all sorts of marking and cutting,
especially felt.  Stretching the felt and taping it to the table with
masking tape sometimes helps if it doesn't want to lay flat.
