What are fiskor scissors? I have no clue as to what they are.

Now redraw your curved scallops and cut the curves carefully with a fiskors scissors and you are set to go with a cape perfectly sized for you and your specifications. Take care.

I'd like to shorten it up more to the movie length. How would I go about doing so or would it just be too much trouble? -Mattnondisclosed_email@example.com (jawafive)Thu, 26 Feb 2004 19:22:23 +0000
