These are the rag snips I use: http://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-2-Inch...8355385&sr=8-1

I now live in Quebec, so no JoAnns for me anymore. I bought mine off ebay but the half price coupon at JoAnns is probably the best price. If they start to squeek or not work well, just put a little dab of WD40 on a cotton tip and put the oil on the nut that holds the scissors together.

Post a picture when you finish. And welcome to the world of rag quilts.
