Guidelines For Quilting Rulers
I received a email about these rulers & read all about them. The reviews are wonderful. They are supposed to be faster then the Accuquilt. Has anyone here used them & what do you think? I don't know how to post the link here. Thanks.

I have heard very good comments about them, I bought them, I did not like them, I literately threw them in my trash and the trash man took them to the landfill, I had taken them to guilt meeting first, and no one wanted them. I hate to run any product down, but they did not work for me.

It looks like they might be useful.
I don't - usually - have a problem cutting - so I don't think I would be buying them right now. |
Used the smaller 1 for a class quilt because the pieces were so small and so many. Basically the only reason to use it for me.
Do like their Grip Strips for my older rulers. My arthritis is worsening and I need help keeping the rulers in place. [Have found the QS rulers the best for me. But, not going to change all my rulers out. Just get 2 new basics.] |
I haven't heard of those but I love the Quilters Select rulers. They are fabulous- no moving.
|
I bought a product that I think was called “Bright Line” that I just stick on the back of my own ruler to make measuring and cutting much faster for me, it can be repositioned, and it works on any of my rulers. Less money on rulers means more money for fabric. Win-win.

I haven't seen that type of ruler before so can't comment with experience. I wonder if the yellow markers will slide after setting in place.
This is the product I use on back of rulers. It stays on well. The tape comes in orange, pink, and yellow depending on what color contrast you need. You can also pieces of medical tape and built up a few layers to stick on the cutting line. The build-up of tape allows you to place the ruler right against the fabric for cutting. http://www.joann.com/omnigrid-glow-l...e/6565733.html Honesty, doubt they are faster than AC-Quilt as you can cut 6 layers if needed. No dog ears on triangles and multiple shape dies available. Can you tell I love AC-Q! Good luck and check back if you decide to try them! |
I bought one several years ago and loved it! However I bought another one 6 months ago. They've changed the band that marks the measurement and I don't like it as much as my old one.

I did the same thing.
