Tucker Trimmer- I have the 6 1/2 and the 12 1/2 inch one. Check out Studio 180/ Deb Tucker's website. It has videos showing how to use the ruler. It's a staple quilting tool for me.

Would you mind reading the model # to us, I admit I've forgotten it and can't quite read the picture? Jan in VA |
I use my omnigrid rulers -- I use the largest ruler that works for what I am squaring up -- I have a 20" (or is it 20.5") for my quilts and bigger projects. There are some neat little corner things on the ruler that I match up with corners of the blocks if I don't have HST's to help square things up. I like the bigger ruler for squaring the quilt because it gets from the edge to the blocks.

I prefer the olfa's and I have collected them over the year so that I have every half inch size from 2" to 6 1/2" and then a couple of large ones for everything else. I prefer them because they have all markings in black and yellow so that one or the other shows up on everything. I use them with a small 6 x 5 cutting mat for most squares .. on a lap desk... the mat moves freely so that I don't have to move the square which I feel is critical to success. I line up the center of the square with the center mark of the ruler.. straighten to make sure it is straight on the side and then trim 2 sides... right and top.... leave square and ruler alone...but rotate the small mat... till it is 180 off from original position. again cut right and top and done... move ONLY on the diagonal after matching the center point.... sliding back and forth will mess up your center.... just match the center...then the diagonal ruler line onto the square and adjust ONLY by sliding up and back on the diagonal..

I love my Quilt in A Day Rulers! They are so nice for sharing up blocks.

I have almost worn out my 12.5 " Quilt In A Day square up ruler. It does go on sale on occasion. I like the ease of using it and certainly would buy it again.

On Jan's recommendation I purchased this ruler and use it for squaring up and it works great. Took me some time after I got it to start using it but now it is my favorite too. Thanks Jan it was a good choice for me.

Actually, if it's the Bias Square ruler, the markings are iin 1/8th increments, the very reason it's my all time favorite square up for 8" and less. Have been working on them for a while to make us a 12" like it.....wanna join the cause?!
