On the video they said to put a string or ribbon in the hole at the bottom so you can pull it out of the prairie point while pressing it. I figure I will probably pick it up - ouch!

I took a look on the site and it really looks like a great gadget if you do a lot of these PP. I just can't figure out why they want so much for these things. I think a regular ruler would not work as one it gets hot, and two it is too think and it wouldn't come out correctly.

I too thought that the ruler would be too thick and wouldn't tolerate the heat of the iron.

Don't have this ruler, but looks interesting if i were doing prairie points, might look into it more.
Thank you for the link to the site, this quilter has a unique/creative point of view.
I didn't know about her till I followed the link.
Several bloggers i've been reading have remarked how Quilt Market in KC had more for the modern quilters: fabric & patterns.
the link you provided would attract these kinds of (art) type quilters.
seems to cater

Here is a video of how to use it http://www.piecesbewithyou.com/patte...ter_detail.htm
