Hello out there quilters!! I am working on a quilt and need a little help. I have to cut my strip sets into diagonal pieces that are 1-1/2" wide. Any ideas how to line up my ruler to get the cuts straight and even?? Thank you for all you help!! Happy quilting!! :)

Depends on what angle your diagonal cut has to be. As long as it is a 30, 45, or 60 degree cut you should be able to do it with any ruler. Just line up the right angle line with the top or bottom of your strip set!

here are some general directions. http://www.oocities.org/quiltfrenzy_...tease6cut.html
