Well today he called and said their trip was cancelled. So I figured we saved well over $125 by not eating out. So I ordered the ruler and saved money to boot. DH says my logic gives him a headache.

The best price was at Fat Quarter Shop from what I could find.

Onebyone, I love your logic! Great that you saved money and got what you wanted..... all at the same time!

I see nothing wrong with your logic! LOL! I think the same way!

I have the June Taylor Perfect Half Square/Quarter Square Triangle template. I get perfect HST's every time. It is for 1 1/2" through 6 1/2" HST's/QST's. I also use it to cut squares from strips and scraps all the time. It is probably the most used tool and my arsenal.

Love, love, love their HST bundle of 2.5, 4.5 and 6.5..................perfect every time!

Makes sense to me.

If it works, it is perfect. I'm with you, no need for special rulers.

Special rulers are like dessert. No need for it but enjoyable to have.

I do love my bloc loc ruler for half square triangles. It is one of the specialty rulers I feel like was worth it. I have 120 half square triangle I need to make for my current project.

If I bought every specialty ruler they advertise, I would have no room in my studio for anything else. I find that I can cut almost any shape from my 8" X 6" ruler and a large square one.

Y'all talked me into getting them. I've been so afraid of HST, now we'll see if the fear goes away. Tks...... I think. :)
