Thanks for visiting today! Check back next week for another awesome tip!
Thanks for the description on your trimmer lines. I never understood how they worked.
Great tips, Anna! I definitely struggle with measuring multiple layers on a card so this video is a big help.
Need the plan for the cutting lines. This is a neat way to have everything in sight.
I added the link above! Thank you!
I’m looking at the video What are the Lines on my trimmer?
I looked up Sharpie oil based markers on Amazon.
What tip did you use? Fine point or medium.
Thank you Anna. I love your site. Your tips have helped me a lot. I also like your sharing.
Thank you.
Sue
I believe mine are the medium tip. Fine point would probably work as well. Thanks for your kind words! I appreciate you following along!
