Fit and buying advice

Check the exact marked sizes across the two pieces before you start. If your pattern asks for a larger unit, compare the A2. For hourglass units with seams crossing in the middle, a multi-diagonal trimmer solves a different alignment problem.

Questions about this tool

What are the small corner slots for?

They let you trim the protruding fabric tips that can complicate later alignment.

Is the A2 already in the original set?

The larger A2 is a separate tool. Compare the exact marked size you need.

Do I need a rotating mat for this method?

The maker’s process uses one alignment for the outside cuts, so rotation is a separate workspace preference.
