Thread: Bloc Loc Rulers

Has anyone ever used a Bloc Loc Ruler? I saw it on YouTube and it looked very clever! I looked it up online and found that they aren't inexpensive. I am a big fan of products that work and save me time, but I don't like spending money on gadgets that aren't worth the moola. I would love to hear comments from quilters who have tried/bought the Bloc Loc.

Will be waiting for an answer too.

OH I love your doggie quilt avatar!!! so very cute!!

Thanks! I love my wiener dogs!!

After you sew the blocks, before you open them, you line up the correct size on your stitching line and trim the excess. Then open and press. I have both sizes and they are among my must-have tools.

Same here - one of my "must-haves." Trimming two sides a time with two swipes of the cutter I find much faster than making four individual swipes around a square.

I haven't heard of the bloc lock rulers but I do have the Eleanor Burns 6 1/2 HST ruler and it's worth it's weight in gold, or diamonds, IMO and not expensive for what it does.
