Creative Grids Pineapple Sizzle Tote

Whew ! Do I have a story for you.  I wanted to use the Creative Grids Pineapple Mini Ruler for a class to teach the Pineapple Sizzle Tote with my smaller private class at Quiltingintheloft Studio.  I though I did not have the ruler and so I ordered it from a mega site ( I think you may know this site).  Turned out I got a very bad knock off and waisted time and money. 

Moral of the story, order direct from the source or from a reputable local quilt shop! Boy did I learn a lesson.  Turned out as well, that I already had this ruler lol.  I demoed on my BERNINA 790 PRO and it went through the fabric thickness & strapping like the "PRO" it is!

It was a technique class to learn/teach how to use the pineapple ruler and using the Cut Loose Press Pineapple Sizzle Tote Pattern,  The student projects to date turned out great. See below:

The amazing 790 PRO

Student Finishes, note the arch beyond the straps, also a new technique
