Sweet Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Old tread but I could finally order it. It was sold out for three months. Micromark charged me double costs for shipping to the Netherlands but Amazon came to the rescue. I prefer ordering at the maker but this time it was too expensive for me.

Keifer Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 You might want to consider storing it vertical when not in use as mine ended up being a catch all tray sitting on my workbench. I got annoyed at myself as I had to empty it every time I wanted to use it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Mine goes on the bottom shelf of my workbench; nothing's in it except magnets and the sheet of waxed paper that lives on the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I have a piece of plastic with a printed grid in the bottom of mine. I got the grid at a quilt shop and cut it to fit. It's handy to have a measuring guide right in the tray. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 @Keifer I have planned to adjust my desk so that the jig comes out as a drawer. @All Great idea to protect the bottom with a sheet, I will have to remember that tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, DOH! and two headslaps, I can do that! 3 hours ago, Sweet said: ...Great idea to protect the bottom with a sheet, I will have to remember that tip! If glue leaks out the waxed paper keeps it from sticking to the jig and peels right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mineejv Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 After I spray painted mine black because the light would reflect off it, l then thought to put the graph paper and the wax paper.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a contraption with a few holding clips and magnifying glass. Various price ranges depending on quality I guess..thinking of getting one, I bought one at the fair and I absolutely love it, I paid about $12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
