I'm not even sure there is one available but.......I bought the pattern shown in the latest Connecting Threads catalogue. It's the American Wave Wall Hanging.... Been wanting to do it a long time, but the cuts are not something I want to do with scissors. do you know if they have a ruler out there that is in that particular shape?????
(Call me lazy, but I HATE cutting with scissors!) :mrgreen: |
can you call Connecting Threads and ask if there is a special ruler to use
|
I could swear I saw one at Joanns

Have you received the pattern yet? Is there a pattern within the pattern that gives you the template for the cutting? You could make your own with template plastic and a Dream Seamer (TM) to mark the 1/4" seam lines.
Dream Seamers are a tiny brass disk with a hole in the center. From the hole to the edge is 1/4". You put a pencil point in the hole, place the seamer against the edge of the template, and draw around the template. Joanne's used to have them, may still. Jan in VA |
The description indicates it is made from a "single template" which sounds like there is no ruler that is used to cut. Perhaps there is instruction for making a template. I read a lot about folks who have taken a design to a place like Lowe's and having templates cut.

it takes practice, but you can use one of the small rotary cutters for cutting around small or curvey templates, etc.
i prefer the 18mm. |
I recently bought this ruler. I think it might work for the quilt you want to make.
