    Well, if they've always done it this way and there's a chance she might ask you next year, you've been forwarned��

    Like Christmas... Start early!

    For 300 pieces a year, it seams worthwhile for the guild to buy a Go! cutter with a custom die. You could get a small die that does one circle or the 24 inch could cut 3 circles. Six layers at a time would be 18 perfectly pinked circles per pass. Something to consider for next year anyway.

    How much do custom dies cost?

    I don't think you can buy pinking edges on a Go die. I have the star die and it makes a pretty mason jar lid decoration, the points hang off around the jar when the rim is screwed on.

    I think I would cut 7-1/2 inch squares of fabric, fold each square into fourths, lightly pencil an arc, and then cut on the line.
    Yup, heaven forbid we do anything different. The sky might fall! I'd do it that way too bear.
