Love the border. I bought the original twister, but I like this one since it has so many sizes and also no fear of cutting to much. But...I am not buying another one..so many rulers...

I haven't seen it anywhere else but on this Annie's site. Who knows, maybe she was first.

I have one. I bought it at JoAnns with a 40% off on top of a 40% off sale. It was a grand opening sale. So I got a great price! So much easier than using the twister block that's very thick and hard to cut around. I ❤️ Twister projects!

CS has a patent on her ruler but the block it makes is an old block and has been around many years. Anita Grossman has a book showing how to mark your 6" ruler to make this block, it came way before Marsha did the twister ruler. I made this block many years ago as a tessalation for my guild. There is only one piece that you cut out 4 times to get the pinwheel. Uses a lot less fabric than the ruler method.

It is my understanding that you cannot copyright a technique, so as long as the tool is different,no problem.

Just checked Nancy's Notion and she's selling it for $24.99 right now if anyone is interested. A savings of $4. Just ordered mine.

Isn't the border idea cute at the end of the video.... I have the square tool... she makes this look pretty easy.

Hope you enjoy

I have this ruler and love it...I ordered it from Joanns. I like how easy it is to use cutting the squares..You don't have to be a contortionist to cut your pcs. You just turn the ruler. It still turns things out like the twister, but easier in my opinion.
