my favorite ruler for making hst's is the nifty notions half square ruiler. you put both fabrics right sides together and cut the size you need then take them to the sewing machine and sew only have one dog ear to trim off and they are the correct size and no squaring up... part of the money for these rulers goes to breast cancer extra benefit.

I have one made by Omnigrid for Fons and Porter. Bought it 12 years ago.

Interesting ruler. I have (had?) the Fons and Porter version. I also tried Tiger tape and how have "Stitching Lines" from Marin & Colusa. I also have thangles and another triangle paper. They all work.

So many ways to skin a cat - I like to try them all - may need to get this too if it saves time!

That's where mine came from too. Used it for a few years until I found the June Tailor ruler. One ruler fuss-free.

I like this one. Big hunk of fabric, draw the line, sew and then cut blocks then cut out diagonal line.
