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 a couple June Taylor rulers... I really like her methods on her rulers.....

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

I too wonder. and wonder how so many give away how to make your own.
I like looking at the quilts made with this ruler but it's not one I seem to want to make.

This ruler has been out for at least a couple of years. JoAnn's carries it.

I like this one better than the plain one. I have a large one I bought at a shop hop and I don't think I've even taken it out of the package.

It is June Tailor ruler, found it at Joann's and Hancock's in my area. It makes multiple sizes of the Twister by using the slots which is not the same as the original squares of the Twister template.

I got mine at JoAnn Fabrics with a 40% off coupon but now I have to use it after watching this!

i ordered the june tailor one before christmas! i have rheumatoid a., and it was hard for me to cut with the other one, so i seen this, and im glad i did it works perfect, and i had trouble with the other one cutting into the fabric, but with june's ruler, it works great and i dont cut into the fabric!

I made a Mylar template years ago and I made several projects that used it but I will not be buying a special ruler for it any time soon. On the other hand if I see a quilt I just have to piece, maybe.

The ideas at the end of the video are worth sitting through all that comes before it .... super ideas for additional projects! Thanks for sharing.

I agree MaryMo.... I love the border idea...

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 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.

WOW the price beats buying 2 of the "original" sizes, now you have more sizes! I like it....

I have this ruler and took a class at a LQS on it....I have made a TON of table toppers using this technique...all have been loved by their recipients!!

They have the June Tailor Twister ruler at Wally World for $17.99.

I have the twister in 2 sizes and never used them yet.too many ideas not enough time

My husband had some plexiglass and cut a 2 1/2 inch square for me, I added the X and wa la.... here is my little 6 " twister block.. Thanks to those who recommended making one... saved me a few bucks... more $$$$ for fabric.

I bought mine at JoAnn's, then borrowed an acrylic one from a friend. I finally have the quilt on the longarm - it measures 120 X 120!!!!! I don't even know how many yards of fabric I purchased for this quilt or the amount of time spent putting it together - twice - but I know I will be one very happy camper when it is finished. My daughter's birthday is in May and this is for her. She picked out the fabric and the design and I have purchased the fabric from several different places in order to get enough to make it. It has a charcoal gray flannel on the back. If I remember, I will try to get pictures of it when it is finished. I have enough left over to make a runner for her dresser (I think).

I didn't really like the ruler with multiple sizes.

Can't wait to see it.....

I to have both this ruler and the twister ones I really perfer this one over the twisters as I would slip at time cutting (over cut) into the next wasting as I would then a few times needed to make a block to replace the one I slipped on. Or the twister one would move while cutting cause I felt it was hard to hold steady due to the seams and or the size having to hold it steady. With this ruler I put those sandpaper or rubber circles and it holds in place. I am much happier, safer and feel it faster then the twister rulers. And yes when using the twister ruler I made sure I could walk around the table to cut out the pin wheels.

The Twister block is an old method just didn't have the Twister name.

After reading this post and watching the video, I bought one today at Joanns. All quilting notions 50% off and then coupon for additional 15 percent off order...I think a little under $9.

Great price when I finally decided to buy mine I also used a 1/2 off coupon and % off. Remember to add those non sliding to it, helps it stay in place.

I looked at Walmart and they didn't have this. I originally needed elastic and they didn't have that either. They have a lot of empty spaces in the craft section so I don't know if they're going to close it or what.

Ask the fabric dept manager to order the ruler for you if it is cheaper at the store then listed online. Some products at Walmart online are higher then the store price. It is listed in the inventory of Walmart. If he/she says they can't, they just don't want to. I know too many Walmart fabric dept managers in many towns around me for one to give me a spill.

I'm not sure there is one. I've been there at different times of the day and any time I needed something cut or needed help, I was helped by someone that didn't work in that department at all and said no one did.

Just purchased this ruler from Nancy's Notions - less expensive! Find it at "nancysnotions.com"

The one that was at Walmart was at Walmart Online. If you wanted you could have it shipped to your address for a fee if not you could pick it up at the nearest Walmart. They would ship it there for free.

I don't want it badly enough to give walmart online my financial information. I've been hacked a few too many times there and when I posted about it (not here) a whole thread of people had the same problem. I had to email them to get them to remove my cc info from the site. I couldn't do it myself.

BUT I just got a new card after the Target debacle and it's good for another day or two so if I was going to order from walmart.com, now would be the best time. lol

I totally understand Gale. You can't be too careful. I too have had cc problems but thanks to a watchful cc company it was caught. Where I live there aren't any LQS anymore. They have all closed, even Hancocks packed up and left. The only way I get anything is to order online or go to Hobby Lobby or Walmart. I don't really like WM quality of fabric. Sometimes it isn't so bad. If the online places don't have a phone number to call to order from I usually won't get it.

You can use a prepaid Visa or Mastercard. All you have to do is call and get a three digit security code to use when ordering. You don't even have to use your real name for a prepaid card.

The last time I looked into getting a prepaid visa, there was a fee. 3% or something? I was at Joann's today but decided I really don't need another ruler. At least not now-I have too many other projects to work on.

btw I think one of my credit cards offers one-time numbers. They never did before-it must be a new thing. I think it's a citibank card.

I tried my sister's L'il Twister and hated it. I just couldn't master cutting all around without having to cut all the spots I missed.i just bought the June Tailor ruler and find it a pleasure to use. It is sold anywhere that her rulers are sold, even the big box stores.

I know this is an old thread, but if anyone wants to order from WM on line just go to the store and buy a gift card. I do it all the time instead of giving them my cc.
