cm-Omnigrid to give them the perfect size. I hated to do that, but since
I don't have any other washable ruler and don't know if there is
something similar in the kitchen department, I swallowed that pill.
Afterwards, I washed it in lukewarm water with a little washing-up
liquid and it came out fine.

Just had to share, and since I wanted to contribute to the group but
have no patchwork going on these days (apart from the brilliant schemes
in my head) I had hopes that this might do, and perhaps bring a little
smile on your faces.

Would this do it for you. I have got one. I use mine for tartlet cases

Since so many of you gave such useful hints, I thought that this must be a
problem professionals face every day. So I googled for pro suppliers and
found actually what I wanted. Then I went to Aunt Google again and gave the
name of what I wanted and found it actually on EBay. The cutting wheels are
he
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Teigschneider...-/150913690178 .
It's simply called dough cutting device. The price is a bit steep but I
think if I go for that instead of the 19.99-version, I might get something
that works.

As for piercing the dough: This device is called in German a 'Stipprolle' or
'Igelrolle' or 'Brotigel' (translated 'dipping roll', 'hedgehog roll' or
'bread hedgehog'), to be obtained in many varieties at EBay, too. (
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Stipprolle-Ig...em 589a705495 )

Should Santa slip a little extra penny under the tree (don't need a sable,
nor a convertible), I'll sit down to the 'puter and buy them this coming
January. In case he doesn't, I'll buy them as soon as the household account
has recovered from the holiday bleeding. ;-)

Thank you all for your creative input, without it I'd never have gotten the
idea of looking for the stuff.

U.

Snipped

I have had one of those for years. Used for marking out tray bakes and
cutting fudge. I did wonder if it would be any good for marking strips
on fabric but never tried it.

Default Pastry Wheel Eureka! (was: Read it and shudder...)

Howdy!
I think our quilter's rotary cutter came from the old pastry wheel
http://tinyurl.com/nqf848w
pizza cutter
http://tinyurl.com/nt7p2ak
and pattern wheel
http://tinyurl.com/njmedbe

I prefer the older tools for cutting food, less likely to cut myself.
But: whatever works for you! ;-P

Ragmop/Sandy - keeping some of the old hand tools for the novelty of them...
