Thanks everyone for the nice comments. It is a great pattern and I enjoyed scrolling it although it took me a lot longer than I thought it would.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas.
Dick, the spirals work great for me and I have problems with the straight blades. I don't know why but that is the way of things. I think the only time you really need to be able to use a spiral is if you cut a pattern like Charles Dearing makes, as large as he does. I have never done one that large yet, maybe I never will.
