lost my ruler to make braid quilts, it's about 4 x 7 inches
 
I misplaced my ruler for making braid table runners, can't remember where I bought it, couldn't find anything on the internet that big. Does anyone know where I can buy one? It's just like the binding tool only bigger bigger.

Thank you.

I never saw such a ruler before. I did a Google search but not sure if this ruler is there:

Jenny from Missouri Star uses one in this video, but couldn't see if the one in her shop is the same size.

Is it the Binding Tool ruler?

I have the binding tool it's definitely not 4 x 7", I am not looking at it right now but I know it's about 2 1/2 wide maybe the length is the right size but definitely not the width. I am getting ready to cut my braid quilt and am just using 2 rulers side by side.

On the Missouri Quilt Company video, she is using a half hex ruler:

The company sells the half hex ruler in two different sizes. Maybe one of them is yours? Doesn't really look like the binding tool, though.

Edit:
And here is a link to the video where Jenny uses the binding tool (2.5" wide) to make a friendship braid:

I found a ruler in the bottom of a box someone gave the Extension Office for the quilting groups, it is by Dritz and is 4" x 11" and shaped like the binding tool. I have found it very useful since I acquired it.

As soon as you buy one, you will find the one you misplaced. I just did that.

I don't look very long for lost quilting tools, I buy another. Then all of a sudden I find I have two of the same ones. The lost one will get jealous and come out of hiding. LOL

I have TWO of the O'Lipfa 45 degree mini rulers that is shaped like a large binding two. Could this be what you are needing? If so message me privately and I will send you the unopened one free of charge.

I have a friend who is making a braid quilt from an Eleanor Burns pattern that came with a special tool, haven't seen it but she told me about it. I have a long slotted binding tool that came with a braid quilt pattern from Nancy's Notions, you might check both of these places out.

I got mine at Missouri Star Quilt Co - Jenny has a tutorial on it

Could it be a bias ruler? It's like the bind ruler on,y way longer

Bueniebabe 03-19-2015 05:51 PM
