You sure that ruler makes 16 wedges like quilter's cache? I think the EZ Dresden ruler takes 20 wedges to make a plate. The angle is wrong. Lay your plastic dresden ruler on top of the paper template from quilter's cache and double check.

My Dresden ruler was called Fast2Cut and takes 20 wedges to make a plate.

Does anyone know what ruler for sure would make the correct angle so it takes 16 pieces to make a plate? I have a template from when I did a dresden from a quilt in a day pattern and that makes 12 wedges to make a the plate. It is very wide.

I also looked at the different links posted on how other people did it using no Dresden ruler and I think I might give the one with double templates taped or maybe drawn to a ruler a chance.
