Hi Jennifer,

I have a device I bought from Lee Valley a little over half an inch wide and 
about an inch thick which is a series of plastic laminations which slide over 
eachother as you bend it. It is intended for drawing infinite curves and 
compound curves however the radius may not be as tight as you need for some 
sewing jobs I couldn't say. I bought the long one at 36 inches, there is a 
shorter one. My only concern is if it might be too high to easily manipulate 
your cutting wheel along.

Like Tom suggested, pinning it might also help manage holding the curve while 
cutting.

  Ok guys, this is a little off center for a handy man question, but I think 
you guys may have a great idea for me. This is related to sewing, but I think 
it may come up in other projects too.

  I use what is called a rolling cutter to cut fabric. It is similar to a pizza 
cutter, but is smaller in diameter, and incredibly sharp. For straight lines I 
use a ruler or something similar to run the cutter along. I am trying to come 
up with something flexible to set up for curves that I can run the cutter 
along. Any ideas?

  Jennifer
