I am not sure what your comment “reputable products” was meant. While Deb’s tools can and do do measure they are not technically rulers. Her approach is entirely different. Take for example adding a differently colored corner to a block. Deb’s Corner POP tool allows you tool allows you to do 22 different sizes. Step 1. Determine size desired for corner. 2. On tool find the size and trim off corner of block. 3. On instructions with tool find the size square to cut in half to create oversized triangle. (No saving cut off triangles to find a use for later if doing 2 or 4 corners of block) 4. Approximately center over sized triangle on trimmed corner of block. 5. Sew 6. Using another part of tool, trim excess from triangle to exactly create a perfectly square block. Creative Grids ruler for this has you use typical method of cutting the square. Then using the ruler to trim off square and corner before sewing. They are merely doing the usual method just cutting before stitching. For clearer understanding of her concepts check out her teaching videos on UTube.
Her basic concept is to oversize elements then trim down to create perfectly square blocks.
