Thank you, nanac & auntpiggy! Very useful info. at those sites! :thumbup:

I have not seen these rulers. I did do a snowball block for a pattern but didn't need a special ruler for it.

I have used printed papers when I was doing a lot of miniatures. I printed mine off a web site as I remember. If the software was very low price It would be worth it -- and if I were going to be doing a lot of them. It definitely saved time when the finished square was only 1 1/2 inch
We all have extra tools that we don't use all that often. I have a chain saw that I use only when I cut down a tree or large limbs -- But I still need it.

You can download the same thing from www.blockcentral.com/hst for free. Lots of sizes are available. All you do is print as many as you need.

Nana thanks for the link for the free HST downloads to print! I can never find them locally in the size I need. So I really appreciate the info.
As far as the tools I haven't heard of them before but will be checking the link.
Thanks for all the info quilters!!!

If you have any of the EQ software, you can print hst and other shapes any size you want.

Wonder cut ruler is a great ruler for hst's too and isn't very expensive. The Triangulations was interesting, I hadn't heard of that before either.

Thanks for the link karenpatrick. Interesting.

That triangulation software is really cool...

I have never seen these rulers before either, but, personally I think they are a bit too pricey.......I think if one measures, cuts carefully most of the added rulers/templates we all have could be discarded and the use of one good ruler for almost every cut is all we need. I have a "collection" of rulers/templates that I really thought I "needed" and come to find out...not necessarily so......JMHO But maybe for some people these would be the answer......
