i just love the one i have.
|
Wow just watched the video.. I think I have one of these rulers somewhere!!! gotta go find it now!! thanks ladies
|
But there is a line for a 1/4" add-on. Suppose you want to cut 2 1/4" width. Line up the edge of your fabric on the "dashed" line to the right (or left) of the "0" slit then cut at 2".
Dakotamaid, what a good idea! Thanks All I can say about this to myself if "DUH" Why didn't I think of that. What a great idea. I usually get the smaller one when I need to cut 1/4". |

Sorry but I don't get it. What is so different about this ruler? I can't see by the pic what I am looking at.

I just got the larger one, and I love it for cutting strips! I won't have to invest in a strip cutter for my Go Baby now.
|
Sue please post a picture of one of your blocks when finished..your fabric is out of this world..beautiful..

I have used mine from the beginning and could not begin to think NOT using it. I turned my sweet quilter neighbor onto it and she is in love. one of the best tools ever designed. I have to say if you are doing diamonds then get the diamond ruler as well. IT ROCKS.
|
I have 2 sizes and love them both. The smaller one has slots for quarter cuts. I prefer using the larger one, though because it will cut longer strips. Shape Cut Rulers ROCK!!!!
|
Yes, they ARE wonderful! But be on the watch for the Shape CUT PLUS! It's just a tad bigger, and it handles the folded yardage just a bit better. I have the regular SC like you do, and it's my 'goto' tool if I'm doing anything with strip quilting....
|
OH NO, something else to add to my newly acquired tools...LOL
Have fun spending your Birthday Money Girl friends |
Love the fabrics.
|
I love mine
|
I have one and use it a lot and love it. It is worth the money with a coupon or not
|
I went on a trip to Quilt in a Day over the weekend...what a great trip!!!! Anyway, Eleanor Burns demo'ed the bigger version of the Shape Cutter ruler and also the one that cuts strips on the bias. If you ever get over to the San Diego area be sure to stop in for one of her classes or just to shop. She has TONS of fabric on sale racks for $4, $5 and $6!!!! I bought other fabrics for $7.14 that I would have to pay $10 for in the Phoenix area.
|
I just got mine that I ordered from JoAnn's. It is the 12 X 18 with 1/4" measure. I have the original one, the small 1/4" one and the half-square triangle one. This one has a 1/4" measure on the left and then 1/2" intervals the rest of the way. But you line up your fabric with the 1/4" line and then start cutting. I love it.
|
I had two coupons and bought both the one you have and the 1/4. BUT I thought I'd have to take mine back when I saw yours with all the yellow lines! Didn't realize at first that that was from your cutting board and thought I'd been short-changed! I love your fabrics!!
|
I have actually worn mine out, the little keyholes are kind of chewed up.
|
I have the 1/2" Tailor shape cut ruler and love it, thinking about getting the 1/4" one too.
|
I've had the shape cut pro for a couple years now and just love it. It has 2½ cut implements only and it's just perfect for the size strips I usually use. It was expensive but I bought it on shoppers rule so it could have been worse!

Yes, I use one too . Got it at Joanne's a few sales ago. Right now working on a Yellow Brick Road, cutting sure went quickly using this shape cut Ruler.
|
Aren't those rulers great. I have almost worn out my first one and then I found an almost new one at a yard sale for only 50 cents. I love your floral fabrics, makes me long for spring.

Please tell us the name of the ruler and what is special about it

It is a great ruler!!! And your floral fabrics are really pretty!

Do any of you who have this ruler, as I do, also have an Accuquilt Go? I'm considering getting the Go to make more accurate squares etc. Would that be another good investment? I find the cutting is so time consuming especially since it needs to be so accurate! Would a Go baby work as well as the regular size Go: Any advise would be welcome.
|
I was learned to quilt using this ruler. I thing I have 4 of them now I various lengths and measures. I love them.
|
I was having problems with getting wavy strips in the middle. I bought one of these rulers and LOVE it. I now am ready to do a Log Cabin also. Your fabrics are beautiful. :-D
|
Buy the biggest you can find. I love this tool.

Hugs to all, Sue :D Have fun and I'll let you know when I get out to purchase one. Thanks again, Diane in Garnet Valley,PA Please someone out there help me. You are all raving about this ruler and I have no idea what it is??? Could someone please let me know what is called(what type of ruler) and why and what you do with it that is different from other rulers. I can't figure it out from the photo.
