Stitch grover

[fredk]

Contrary to everyone else - I like a stitch grove, not always, but often

I have a standard adjustable one which I got a long time ago. I never really liked that one, never got on with it.

A few years ago I bought this set from China. I now prefer it

Its easier to adjust. Note that in the first one the cutter is on the arm, but on the second the arm is the edge alignment guide. Means the second one can be used free-hand easier

btw; two methods of sharpening the groove cutter. 1. use teeth-flossing cord. 2. rub some toothpaste into thin strong thread and use that. Run either back-and-forth through the hole. The tooth-flossing cord will cut faster. (afir a prisoner escaped a prison by cutting thru the iron bars with flossing cord)
