    Better than a ruler, watch these videos by Sharon Schamber:
    There are 3 parts.

    I had some kind of binding tool, but I agree watch the Sharon Schamber's videos. I think it is just something you have to learn to do.

    exactly what kind of ruler are you looking for. What do you want it to do - its purpose. Is it to assure even seam width, mitred corners or.....?
