Thank you for sharing, Lezley. You're a great teacher no matter what you're demonstrating!
Thank you +Cheryl64014 - you made my day!
Screw a wooden board to the table. When you pull the blade towards you the pictures can't move because the bottom of the picture is resting on the board.
I was just going to make a comment. When you cut the foam board and you don’t have anything underneath to support it, You can use the foam that you just cut off to put underneath ☺️☺️ Your doing Great Very Creative n Thank You for the ideas
They make quilting rulers that are see through so that you can square everything up before you make your cuts. Great tutorial.
Oooh, good tip. 👍🏻
I'm surprised that you did not use a weight to hold the print. It was obviously going to be a little ragged when they print moved as you were cutting
Thank you for the warning!
Super informative, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, all you have to do is use the extra foamcore board and place it next to the board you are cutting to have the rler leveled to cut.
Thanks for the tips!
Do you know of anything I could put on the edges so that it looks a little bit more finished? I make projects at home and I just don't want to look it up foam core board Edge. I don't like this Glam tape for the rhinestone tape, or ribbon. I've been racking my brain and losing sleep 😂 any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, have a beautiful day ❤️
I use matte black masking tape or duck tape and it looks nice and finished.
@@LezleyDavidson Thank you. Have a great night!
...shove the other foam board under,so that the ruler sit on flat !
Excellent!
Thank you!
thank you very much
what would you suggest to make it archival? i painted on a huge posterboard and would like to mount it on foamboard. what could i do?
Did you ever figured out what to do?
Why don’t you just use a cut piece and join it with your frame so that your metal ruler can stay stable while cutting? No sweat really!!
