Making your own ruler/templates
#43
We used a radial arm saw to cut it but the instructions that came with it says you can use a sabre saw, jig saw, or circular saw. We didn't use any special blade just the one he had mounted on the saw.

The lines on my ruler are at half inch intervals. I cut them 1/4" past the 7" mark but started with the 1" mark on the edge of the fabric so that there would be a hole in the center of the block to cover with the circle. The Dresden finished right at 14".

Good idea! I wonder... could use a scroll saw to cut a curved template?
Also, an idea to put the marks on... you could use a clear (acetate?) sheet that goes through your printer. Just add the measurements on via computer, print it out and glue it on. It would come out very neat and tidy, permanent, with no smearing..

And for those who asked, I have no intention of selling any of them. It took me most of the day to make this one.
