I agree, I have all her geese rulers as well and there is very little waste.

I have several different rulers for flying geese and find Eleanor burns to be the best and easiest to use, and there is very little waste.

You make a lot of geese so why not have the tools that work for you. I keep my "daily" rulers handy in my workspace; all the rest are in a see-through container. Easy to find and remember to use. :) |
I buy any new ruler to try it out. That is the only way to know if it is a new tool that will save time, make it easier or be fun to use. I don't pay attention to the reviews of you don't need it. I'm not a make do type person when it comes to quilting, that's not fun for me.

You can get the eleanor burns rulers when 40-50% off at joanns, very economical. Her method of geese is the least wasteful, easiest, and most accurate of any method I know LOL...

I've made Eleanor Burn's flying geese without a special ruler but I don't consider her method complicated or wasteful. It's just about the only way I make flying geese.

I hope someone can help me, I'm trying to make Eleanor Burn's Peony pattern from her Egg Money Book. She makes flying geese with 2 different sized sqs. sews corner to corner all 4 corners then cuts, uses some sort of flying geese ruler she makes. I'd like to use the usual flying geese which is easy. Hers is complicated and wasteful. Anyone??????

You make 4 at a time using two large squares of different sizes. There is a formula for figuring the size squares to use.
The ruler is used to square up the geese so they are perfect. Some sizes waste a little and others no waste. |
