The CGRJAW12 completely halts this compounding error. Because you securely lock the central patch down under the non-slip workspace and trim the raw outer perimeter at every stage, any minor sewing drift is safely sliced away. This removes the stress of handling delicate fabric strips, saves hours of alignment checks, and leaves your completed blocks perfectly square, uniform, and ready for sashing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eModern Geometric Artists:\u003c\/b\u003e Ideal for adding a fresh, high-density line look to traditional log-cabin style patterns and optical illusion layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eScrap and Stash Buster Quilters:\u003c\/b\u003e Excellent for turning random left-over fabric strips and jelly rolls into beautifully balanced, high-contrast heirloom designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAmbitious Intermediates:\u003c\/b\u003e Provides an immediate confidence boost for quilters stepping up to complex multi-layer designs without fearing puckered center seams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eIncluded Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"\u003eCreative Grids 12\" Skinny Pineapple Trim Tool Acrylic Ruler (CGRJAW12)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"\u003eStep-by-step fully illustrated instruction booklet featuring detailed block assembly maps\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/b\u003e CGRJAW12\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTotal Capacity Footprint:\u003c\/b\u003e Calibrated for 12-inch finished block layouts (adds 1\/2-inch margin for raw seam allowances)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRound Capabilities:\u003c\/b\u003e Trims 6 consecutive rounds of piecing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Industrial-grade premium laser-cut acrylic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Ann Wright\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCountry of Manufacture:\u003c\/b\u003e USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHow does a \"skinny\" pineapple block differ from a standard pineapple block?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,0,1\"\u003eA skinny pineapple block uses narrower fabric strips, which allows you to pack more layers or rounds into the same square space.
