A 'get by' 9 degree ruler substitute?
I'd like to do a project, but have a feeling this would be a one only project
Can anyone think of how to make a substitute.
As I write this I'm thinking the idea is dumb, but hey...

You could make a template out of cardboard or plastic if you could get the accurate angles with a protractor. You would have to use it for a guide and still put a regular rotary cutter ruler over it to get your cuts. Doable be a little tricky.

search here for Measurement for a 9 degree ruler and then also for Using a Wedge ruler-help. both have comments that may help you.
there is also a site called blocklayer . com that may help.

I make my own wedges all the time, I use a protractor (D shaped w/ a movable arm in the center at hobby lobby or wally world for about $3) I draw it onto freezer paper, that way you can press it to the top layer of fabric (or singles for fussy cutting) and cut extremely accurately

I was wondering if you could mark a 9 degree line on one of your existing rulers and use it the the same way you use the other lines, like 45 and 60 degree lines. You could mark it on the top of some clear tape placed on the ruler in the right spot.
