I saw a tute here last week I think about a special ruler for making round tree skirts you sew the strips togather & use a 6 something ruler to cut the strips out. Daoes anyone know what I am talking about ? Thanks CAthy A tumrub

angiecub posted one beginning of september. i don't know how to link to the page but it was titled christmas tree skirt ( i think)

oops should have read it correctly you want the ruler, huh? i have been looking on line and a few places have them but they are around $20 and up. i am going to look for them at a few local places.

I use Marilyn Doheny's 9 degree ruler. If you go to her site (link below) it's the 25"-9 degree ruler. You may be able to find one for a better price on ebay or even here on the QB.

Thank you both for the info. I will look around for the ruler I thought it would be fun to make a couple of skirts for my self & my sister. Thanks again tumrub

Phillips Fiber Arts has the ruler and the Spicy Spiral table runner pattern comes with it. I think theirs is 10 degree which makes a slightly larger skirt, but not by much.

I was just there and now a second pattern is included. Look around the site. There are some fascinating tools and patterns.

Thanks Irishrose I will look at the website.tumrub

You could use the 10 degree ruler and would only need 36 wedges as opposed to 40 with the 9 degree ruler, and the 10 degree ruler is 19.98 on the site irishrose gave, whereas I haven't seen the 9 degree for less than 28.95...

I've used the 10 degree ruler. Works well.
