    Karen Kay Buckley ruler

    Does anyone have this ruler? if so how do you like
    it?

    Karen Kay Buckley ruler



    Soon as I saw this ruler and KNEW that I wanted it. Hubs
    said I didn't NEED it because I already have about
    2 of every ruler size from 4" to 12-1/2". He also said
    the cost was too much. But I told him I could save OVER
    $13 if I am a member of the AQS.

    This is how I explained my "logic" to him:
    1) This ruler is ALL the sizes he said I had rolled into 1
    ruler.

    2) If I had known about this ruler years ago (not sure when
    this ruler came out) I could have SAVED myself a lot of money
    instead of buying the rulers.

    3) I would be able to FIND the right size with this ruler instead
    of trying to hunt and find the pesky 6 inch ruler I had last time
    I used it which I can't remember when that was.

    4) I just want it! it is a new (at least to me) fandango QUILTING
    ruler therefore I MUST get it.

    He just shook his head, and laughed at me than said" silly girl".
    I THINK that might mean I am getting this ruler for Christmas
    or my birthday next year.

    I've never seen this ruler. How much is it? Looks pretty neat, but it seems a little t the complicated.

    Not going to be on my list anytime soon at the $69.95. I have a square up ruler already. And I certainly don't want to have to take a hammer to it. JMO!

    I have a large 15 inch square so I wouldn't be interested and I also would be afraid of the little teeth breaking off.

    OH!no not for me I can feel my thumbs screaming pushing them together I would need the hammer(another expense) and then she mentioned some kind of tape(hugo tape?) I'm sure I break it taking it apart I noticed the ruler larger at the end or was it just me? do they give you all the pieces to make it that big I doubt it,probably have to buy the different sizes.

    ALL the pieces you need to make it a 24" square is included.
    So is the Amazing Hugo Tape (I already have a 1" wide roll of it).

    When I rejoin the AQS (American Quilter's Society) I will be saving
    $13.99 on the cost.

    For me it gives me all the sizes I normally use within 1 ruler I like that
    part. As for the hammer. easily obtained online at a cheaper cost.

    How much is membership to AQS...what other benefits to be a member?

    I really don't see me using that...maybe for those who do much appliqué work this would be useful. Hugo tape? Like sandpaper rounds or invisitape? I am a certified gadget lover/buyer...but this one just isn't tempting me at all....

    Wow. love this ruler. Have never heard of it before. It is pricey ($69.99) so I will keep a lookout for a sale.

    My quilt friend bought it from Connecting Threads and we played around with it. It was very easy to use. I have one ordered. I don't understand why the need to discuss buying a quilt ruler with DH though. LOL
    I love my life!
