Default Folded Corner Clipper ruler

I was sorting through my rulers and found this one. I don't remember using it so I thought I'd try it out. Wow. This is wonderful for HSTs. I put two 2 1/2" squares together, put the ruler on it made one cut. I had a perfect 2 1/2" Hst and one 2" hst. No lines to draw, no 7/8" added. Works to add corner to square to make square in a square perfectly. It's simple and inexpensive compared to a lot of the other speciality rulers. I'm keeping this little jewel out of the drawer.

you cut it with the triangles folded together right? Eleanor Burns always did that. for some reason i press them first so cut and flip and cut again. oh well.

No I put the ruler on the bottom and side of the two squares together.

That one looks like a winner. My HSTs are okay, but my snowballs get off track too easily.

I have this ruler I bought for a class a few years ago. I remember we made flying geese using it. It was my first time making a whole flying geese quilt and all my geese were perfect. I never thought about using it for HST or other shapes, it's always been my flying geese ruler. LOL It now has prime real estate on my peg board.
