Wow, friends, this ruler is awesome!! I am FINALLY starting my floral log cabin ala Karla and now Deb.
I've been collecting florals for several months and have some nice fabric to work with. I bought the ruler at Joanne's w/ a coupon but actually forgot about it. Does that tell you the condition of my sewing room??? hehehe Anyway, I'm off and running with strips! It also has many other shapes you can cut and is very affordable!! Hugs to all, Sue :D Just some of my fabbies! Ohhh I long for Spring! :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]146788[/ATTACH] |
Aren't they wonderful, I've just about worn out mine and need a new one! Love, love them for strips especially.
|
I use it to square up blocks more then cutting! It's great.
|
Thank you so much for this!
Joann's is having a nice sale this week and I have coupons! Thank you David |

I used my 45 rotary cutter and went through 4 layers easily.
The increments are 1/2 inch. Mine is about 16 inches square They probably make a bigger one but I don't know. I wanted to see how I liked this one and I love it. |

The ruler looks nice, but those forals are gorgeous. I have a few of them, but love the rest of yours.

She does make a bigger one. I have the 1/8 cuts one and I just mark with blue tape where I'm supposed to cut when I'm cutting oddles of strips.

I have 2 of those rulers, and haven't tried them yet. I know my friends love them. I use the ones at my guildm eetings, calsses etc. Better get to using mine.

Looks like I'll be adding the larger one to my collection at some point! Thanks :D

I have one of these and the only problem I have with it is that it nicks the blades of my rotary cutter sometimes. But, otherwise, I love it.
|
I guess I should find mine and start using it. :thumbup:
|
I've been using mine for a few years now and I've had perfect strips. It's such a blessing how fast it goes too.
Glad you have one. |
I have 3 of them but use the 1/2 and 2 1/2 ones more! They are great! I also have the GO but actually prefer to use the June Taylor to cut strips.
|
Can anyone post pictures of how you use it? I've seen it and got confused just looking at it.
|
Those floral fabrics really are something. Just gorgeous.
|
Had mine for 3 yrs and I think I used it 3 times...Maybe I'll give it another look
|
Oh I love the fabric on the right! Is that the same one as the strips? Are they Bleeding Hearts?? Gorgeous!
Are you making a traditional block, or will you make a curved one? What width are your strips??? I have a lot of questions, huh? :lol: |

I want it to look like yours! lol I cut 2 inch strips- hope they aren't too narrow. What do you think?? Thanks for looking! |

I have this ruler and love it. One tip for those who want to get one, if you are like me, not exactly a mathematical genius, get some small colored dots from the office supply section of a store. Stick them on the ruler where you want to make cuts just to make sure you cut the right sized strips or blocks. For example, if you are cutting 2 1/2" strips, put a dot at 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2 etc. You can reuse the dots or just use new ones each time. They are very inexpensive and save on cutting errors.
|
You will love the ruler. Can't wait to see your project.
|
I have to laugh, I have had one for all my quilting years lol all 8 of them. I think I tried using it a few times and it continues to sit on my desk collecting dust.
|
I bought this to cut fleece blanket fringe before I started quilting. I cleaned my sewing room this weekend and hung it up on the wall. Thought to myself I should throw that away I won't ever use it again. LOL Now I know what it is really for. Can't wait to try it. Again I learned something new today. TA DA!
|
I have one and LOVE it!! It is my go-to ruler. If there is any way I can use it instead of a regular ruler, I will. In fact, about the only time I use my 5 x 23 ruler is when I am ruler folding my fabric.

Want to get me one of these because I spend more time position my ruler than cutting strips and it kills my hand to press down on the 5" ruler I use to keep it from slipping. |
Wow, One more thing I can only dream of wishing I could afford :D
|
Call me stupid but I have one of these and it has intimidated me so that I have not tried to use it.
|
I have three. Wouldn't be without any of them. Greatest thing since sliced bread.
|
Your fabrics are to die for........make sure you keep us posted....happy quilting Susan!!
