It's very difficult to get a straight cut with scissors, at least for me--I end up with wide-mouthed Vs. There is a bit of an irregularity with the chisel, but it's still much less noticeable than with scissors. Also, for what I'm doing and how I do it, it helps to see a good portion of the fabric arrayed before me. > On a similar note, I used a gouge (curved chisel) to make the dagged > edges of a hood, and it worked very well. Actually the chisel worked so well that I've started try to think where else a similar arrangement might work out--similar to your usage of a gouge to make dags. -- Robert Uhl <http://public.xdi.org/=ruhl> Anyone who considers arithmetical methods of producing random digits is, of course, in a state of sin. --John Von Neumann _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
