The Creative Grids 4\" Curvy Log Cabin Trim Tool Mini (CGRJAW6MINI) is a highly specialized acrylic template designed by Jean Ann Wright for micro-patchwork precision. By deliberately alternating narrow strips on two adjoining sides with wide strips on the opposite two sides, this pocket-sized tool generates beautiful, sweeping circular illusions using nothing but quick, straight machine stitching. It maintains rigid geometric control over tiny fabric layers, providing an effortless system to true up intricate blocks so they lay completely flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSignature Non-Slip Gripper Grid:\u003c\/b\u003e Built-in frosted gripper dots on the back slide smoothly over your fabric until downward pressure is applied, anchoring instantly to completely eliminate template sliding and rotary miscuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMicro Curve Illusion System:\u003c\/b\u003e Calibrated with precise asymmetrical line parameters that combine straight piecing and varying strip widths to create fluid visual rings and undulating waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eUltra-Compact 4-Inch Finished Blocks:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed specifically for creating miniature 4-inch finished blocks, offering a much higher layout density than standard 6-inch or 8-inch rulers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIncremental Layer Correction:\u003c\/b\u003e Features unique interior registration nodes that align over your tiny starting center patch, letting you slice away minute seam deviations at the completion of every round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIntegrated 1\/4-Inch Seam Margin:\u003c\/b\u003e Features a built-in outer workspace alignment track ensuring that raw blocks are trimmed to an exact 4.5 inches square for pucker-free joining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHigh-Contrast Sightlines:\u003c\/b\u003e Bright, crisp white circled step guides and sharp black lines provide perfect readability on dark solids, complex batiks, and light tone-on-tone prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eWhy Customers Love This Tool\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eWorking with small blocks is notoriously punishing because an error of even a fraction of a millimeter multiplies across your rounds, resulting in warped, distorted blocks that bunch up under an iron. The CGRJAW6MINI completely eliminates micro-piecing frustration. By stabilizing your fabric beneath the non-slip workspace and safely rotary trimming the raw outer edges after each round, any cumulative machine or fabric drift is erased. Four completed mini blocks fit together smoothly on your machine to form a pristine, tight visual circle that lies flawlessly flat.\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\"\u003eMiniature Patchwork Specialists:\u003c\/b\u003e An essential asset for quilters who specialize in high-density small-scale artwork, miniature wall hangings, and intricate geometric block designs.\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 Remnant Salvagers:\u003c\/b\u003e Excellent for turning small fabric stash remnants, fat quarter trim-offs, and narrow left-over strips into beautiful heirloom-grade 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\"\u003eOn-the-Go Workshop Travelers:\u003c\/b\u003e A space-saving, highly maneuverable travel companion that fits into compact sewing boxes without crowding your classroom cutting mat.\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 Curvy Log Cabin Trim Tool Mini 4\" Square Acrylic Ruler (CGRJAW6MINI)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"\u003eFully illustrated, step-by-step instruction booklet showing micro-strip assembly paths\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 CGRJAW6MINI\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 Raw Footprint:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.5 inches by 4.5 inches square\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\"\u003eFinished Capacity Size:\u003c\/b\u003e Calibrated for 4-inch finished block layouts\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\"\u003eStitching Rounds:\u003c\/b\u003e Trims 3 complete rounds (two narrow and two wide strips per round)\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\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Heavy-duty premium laser-cut acrylic\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 4-inch block create the illusion of a curve?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,0,1\"\u003eThe ruler utilizes a specific layout formula: you sew narrow strips on two sides of your center square and wide strips on the opposite two sides.
