Great idea for quilt shop demos. I'm sure I got mine at Hobby Lobby or Michael's when a coupon was burning a hole in my pocket, but I don't think it was very expensive.

That is my most used ruler. I have two -- one in my sewing room and one in my UFO/Guild tools.

I just found a nice video on using the ruler at http://store.junetailor.com/store/p-...les-ruler.aspx I've been working for ever on a quilt that is all hst and qst using my regular square ruler. Of course, it's just about finished. Sure wish I would have seen this one before.

ok, I love mine makes them so much easier to make 1/2 square triangles. If you belong to a quilt guild, get them to either have members demonstrate items like this or ask a local quilt shop to come in and demonstrate. Or you could contact the local quilt shop and ask the owners about a notions/rulers/gadgets demonstration class. Where I worked, we used to do it all the time. Kind of surprised more don't take advantage of this opportunity.

How on earth do you have new toys, and leave them in the wrapper? I guess I am shorter on patience than you. When I get a new toy/tool, I must play with it right away! Lol!
