I have a Kimberly Einmo ruler too. I've used it for geese before with a cut large type of method. I cut the sky to correct size and the geese a bit oversized.

I would love to get better at the cut-to-size technique, but I really need to make a bunch to get better at my technique. Seems like maybe this is the time! For me I think the challenge is feeding the bias into my machine. I've got the seam guide set up for the 9-patches, so I'm going to give it a go for the triangles. My suspicion is that I really need to SLOW down when stitching so the bias doesn't stretch and change the size of the seam. I might also starch my fabrics a second time so the are stiffer.

I'll let you know how it goes!
