    Ruler question

    We had a discussion about this ruler before, but I couldn't find where. Maybe someone knows what I'm talking about. Its a large square ruler with slots around the perimeter to draw a line to help trim up blocks evenly. Its got a hefty price tag from what I remember. Sound familiar? What's it called? Thanks

    Are you sure the slots were there to draw lines? Did it square up any block or just a specific one, like a HST? I'm wondering if it was the discussion on Bloc Loc HST rulers. There are no slots, but there is a groove that sits over the seam and allows you to trim perfect HSTs. They are pricey.
    Other than that, June Taylor has quite a few different rulers with cutting slots.

    I don't remember the post. I saw something this year that I thought was EB but it was for a specific quilt pattern. I just use square up rulers to trim my blocks. There were these items posted on Nancy's Notions:

    It is called the block marker tool. I bought mine from Nancy's notions. And you are right it does have a hefty price. I paid 49.99. I haven't used it that much at all.

    It is the Block Marker Ruler. I have both sizes. One of the best tools I have.

    Here is a video how to use them:

    Wow! I just watched the video. I'm just not perfectionistic enough to want to use a tool like this.
