    Default Brilliant tools for upgrading our rulers

    https://www.guidelines4quilting.com/
    should bring you to the page with the 2018 quilt market video.

    I thought their rulers were were so well thought out...but I wouldn't have to buy new rulers
    as all the ruler connectors and non-slips would work on my current rulers

    Have any of you bought their tools? do they loose their stickability?

    Interesting but I don’t see how the guidelines would work on other rulers as they snap into their rulers. Maybe I am missing something?

    I ran across him on a you tube not long ago & thought his ideas were brilliant.

    On second thought … reviews are not that great for the connector …
    A friend has one of these for travel (which is my interest in this) and likes it …

    I have some of their rulers and really like them. Just wish they made a wider one for strips/borders/sashing that is more than 5.0 wide. Maybe they do and I just haven't searched enough on their site.

    I have purchased both the Guidelines rulers and the attachments to upgrade other brand rulers. The attachments to upgrade regular rulers work ok but the original Guideline rulers work better. The attachments for regular rulers stretch to fit regular rulers but leave gaps in the cutting guide and don't stay in place as well. I haven't tried the connectors.

    I don't like to knock anyone's product. I had several of their rulers and literately threw them away, tried giving them away and no one wanted them. I myself did not like them. This is MHO.
