Thread: Easy angle 6 1/2" ruler

Does anyone know if JoAnn's sells this, or do I need to get it somewhere on line? It's for the Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt. Any information would be appreciated.

Joann's here has it.

Jo Ann's here has it also.

I've seen them at Hancock's. Don't know about JoAnn's.

I got mine from a vendor at our quilt show but I haven't used it yet. Please post how you like it after finding & trying it ok?

I have this ruler and love it! If you cut accurately and sew a perfect seam, you will not have to trim your half square triangles. I have arm "issues" so this is helpful and really fast for me. I did a Faceted Jewels quilt last spring and used this for the hundreds and hundreds of blocks that I needed. There is another ruler called the Companion Angle that you can use to cut the goose part of flying geese and use the Easy Angle to cut the corners. No waste! You cut your strips 1/2 inch larger than the finished size. Fons and Porter sells a ruler that cuts the half square triangles as well as the quarter square triangles for flying geese and hourglass blocks. It is called Half and Quarter Square Ruler, I think. I can't find mine to check the name but they all work really well, just a little learning curve. I found I was cutting a bit too generous in the beginning. You need to be accurate, not generous!

I believe I got my Easy Angle and my Companion Angle rulers at JoAnns. Bonnie often uses both.

Thank you so much everyone!
