My June Taylor strip ruler. My 6x24" ruler clear with pink lines. Easy for me to see.

Stripology rulers without a doubt!

I have almost all of them. One of the great things about them is that one ruler makes a large range of block/unit sizes.

For all the many years I have been quilting, I have done 99% of my work with my Olfa frosted 6x12 ruler. Love them and use it for everything (I am on ruler #3 - the other two just wore out!!). I swore I did not need to spend lots of money on specialty rulers. I might, however, be a convert now .....
Recently I had bought a kit and it required the Deb Tucker Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star Ruler. I had thought about paper piecing the stars bit was unsure if I would have enough fabric to paper piece. So, I borrowed the ruler from a friend. It has become my favorite ruler! I think I need to buy one!!! The stars came out perfectly, the directions straight forward and so I kept on going ... I made the runner, a Christmas table topper, a blue and gold runner and when done with those had several singleton stars left over that I will turn into "little" quilts for under lamps and such. |
All this praise for the Stripology rulers make me want to go buy one! Well, Christmas is coming... Hubby might need a gift idea... :D

My favorite ruler, since I work on a small surface is the Quickline II, by Nancy Crow. It is now wearing out at the edges and to my sorrow, I have tried to get another to no avail. This ruler is 13" x 3" and it is the perfect size for my work. I am going to miss this ruler a lot.

I think my most used ruler is the 6 x 24. I also like my 6 1/2" ruler to square up that size blocks
|
I use this 4 x 8 ruler by Omnigrid a lot.

I have a couple of Deb Tucker's rulers but no idea why I bought them!
After the holidays I'm going to check out her website to see what they can make. I have an easy angle (for many years) and I totally forgot about it. I need a better way to store my rulers. |
You will not be sorry. You will love them!
