Default Nestabilities

Hi everyone,

I am looking to purchase some Nestabilities and I am ordering them on line. I am not sure where to start for card making. I want to get the scalloped circles, do I get the Classic ones or the Petite ones? This will be for card making, I love the cards I have seen on this site and want to try some of the Nesties. Where do I start?

Thanks,
TJ

the petite ones have smaller scallop sizes -- meaning the bumps themselves are smaller. I prefer them, but it is a personal preference thing.

I use the circle and ovals the most.

What is the difference between the small and large sets?

Someone told me that the difference is like 1/8" or 1/4" but that it is good to get matching sizes - for instance, if you get a large scalloped edge circle, you would want to get the large plain edged circle to go with it. That was the method I was following anyhow. And I started with the scalloped edged ones, especially circle and oval as they are harder to make by hand than a square or rectangle.

Here is a link that I think will be helpful:

I'm trying to decide which ones to start with, too!
