This afternoon I wanted to made a 9-1/2" Sawtooth star block... Thought this will be easy -- I have two sizes of Quilt in a day speciality rulers....problem. In March I relocated all my speciality rulers in my studio...could not find any....

So I make block cutting triangles ...the block is 9-1/2 square..buT I will loose a few points when put into a quilt... Where or where can my rulers be. When it cools down I will look for them. 106 today.

Thanks for listening, I am really confused where I would have put 14 to 15 rulers that I can not find today.

I don't lose things, I just can't find them

My filing system is excellent, it's my retrieval system that is poor.

I use EB method all the time but you don't need her rulers. I like having them a bit bigger so you can easily see if the seam line is accurate and then trim the to be the perfect size!

I feel your pain!! My thread stash has gone missing and my sewing room isn't that big! Good luck in your search!

Relax! You don't need a ruler! Especially if you are going to make many of the same colors combination. Look up the No Waste Method:

One tip: Where it says to add 7/8" most of us add 1" and then trim. Good luck!!

Kitsie, thank you for the info and the link.

I lose things all the time. The sad part is that I never find them again. My "studio" is one room that used to be a bedroom and is cram packed with my sewing supplies. When I put things "away" in a safe place, I can never find them again. If I ever find that "safe" place I will be so surprised by the things I have and I will be able to open my own store. lol
