I want to make a Bargello Christmas Tree Skirt and the pattern that I have uses this ruler. Those who have made a Tree Skirt what size ruler did you use? 14" or 16". These rulers are expensive so I don't want to buy two of them. Thanks for any help.

Good question, I'd like to know too. :)

why not get the 16 inch one. This way you will have both size, provided the ruler has ruled lines, some don't.

I am using my large wedge ruler, it is either 24 or 25". I can't remember for sure.

What is a wedge ruler? Is this the same as a dresden ruler?

wedges are flat ended and dresdens are curved, I think

I think it also is a difference in the degree of the wedge. I think the dresdens are a little different degree than either the 9 or 10 degree when I was shopping for one.

Yours is probably a wedge ruler. They can be 9' or 10' or even several other degrees.

Dresden rulers can be several different shapes. Some are curved, and some are various other shapes.
