Thank you dear. I want to feel confident in cutting this fabric and I probably sound like a worry wart . I'll get there yet, with all the help everyone offers.

This ruler will work! You just have to place it so that your triangles all have pointy ends. Place it as you showed in your other post, make the cut, turn the ruler as the book instructs (so that it is lined up with the top of the cut you just made) and make the next cut. You can also use any "regular" ruler with a 60 degree line.
