IMHO, why JUST 10.5 ruler? I use my 15"...I think it's 15 all the time. Rulers I grab most freq are the 6.5, 9.5, and the HUGE one. Not to mention the 6*12 and 6*24.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!

If you don't work on it you'll never finish it.
Interesting gadget - wonder if it comes with a carrying case to keep all the pieces/parts in? (I tend to misplace things)
As I've become more proficient, I think I use fewer 'gadgets' - It seems like more of a bother to find them than to 'make do' with what is handy.
Well, this is nice, but i happen to have an architect for a son, and he has acess to a lazer cutter, (i know a lot of people do not) I call in my sizes to him and he puts it on his laptop and viola, i have all the sizes i want, lucky, i know, this will also put the markings on it that i want, well i need to get something out of that expensive education.
But i do know people that use this company and they say it is well worth the money, so all i can say is try it, you never know till you do

I saw this and was on their email list for a while. I think regular rulers and templates will work. It's a matter of learning to use your ruler and cutter, not so much a "system".

I have this ruler and have had it a long time. I wasn't all that happy with the results or the hook on pieces. Easier just to look on a chart for hst/qst sizes to cut. Just my opinion.

Thank You so much for sharing that site. I am so excited to purchase my new tools.
PS if you know where I can find a 10 1/2 " square ruler (other then the "Omnigrip") please let me know, thanks![/QUOTE]
A glass shop can cut plexiglass for you - stress accuracy and they're not good for curves
My glass shop closed, then I read on the Board about Lowe's.
Not all locations have the machine to do it
If they have the machine, you buy a 24" square of plexiglass and they will cut it.
Make sure to ask them to have the machine cut in both directions (you'll get smoother edges)
For $24 I got two 8 1/2" squares, a 7" and 7 1/2" plus 2 others I can't remember.
The extra piece turned out to be 3" x 9" and I've actually used it.
