Stripology Ruler and Quilt
 

I really like this quilt, photo I found on Pinterest, attached. The pattern is Kira although the photo quilt uses a different layout than on the quilt pattern package.

My question is: is the Stripology ruler worth the price? I am happy to add it to the collection if it really makes things easier : )

June Taylor shape cut ruler...
 

is the same and yes, they are very useful! Great for cutting sashing and binding! Amazon has them, not cheap but worth it if you cut many strips!

some people love it and some hate it. Do you have a friend who might have one you can try out?

I got the Stripology XL last year. It was a small bit of a learning curve, but I love mine. It makes cutting multiple strips so fast, easy and accurate.

I wouldn't be using mine daily, but I do like it for certain things. I have an accuquilt Go but don't have all the dies I need for it so the this ruler does come in handy when cutting strips when I don't have the die I need. It is also very helpful when sub cutting strata. I find it stays in place very well and doesn't not slip so cuts are accurate and it is larger than my old June Taylor one.

The Kira quilt is one of my favorites! It’s a fun one to make and I always love the results.

I do not have the stripology ruler and get along just fine without it. I did not have any trouble at all without it. Maybe it might make the cuts quicker but I think that pattern goes together quite quick even without it.

I don’t know how to post a pic off my phone but would be happy to share a couple of my Kira quilts when I get back to my home computer.

Look forward to seeing your version - please post pics!

I love my Stripology ruler. I have been piecing quilts for a couple of years. Too often the ruler moves while I am cutting When I use the stripology ruler I am much more accurate. There is a definite learning curve. You have to remember to set the end of your fabric on 0. There is a nice white line helping you, but there is a black line that at the beginning I made cutting errors. My ruler has stars for every 2 1/2 so you don't have to do the math, It has squares, filled in circles. I really do like it.

Love it. It's my go to ruler now. I've been cutting a pile of 2 1/2" strips, and sub cutting to size, and it's so quick. No need to move the ruler between each cut and very accurate.
Useful for trimming up too.

I like it much better then the Shape Cut ruler. it's not as flimsy. I put in in my cart at Amazon and when I was alerted the price dropped I bought it for $32.50 with free shipping. It was that price for about two hours. I don't have a clue how the prices are set but I always put items I want but don't need right now in my cart and wait for a price drop. Maybe they want me to clear out my cart. I have tons in it. LOL

I love my Stripology ruler. I use it all the time and have never regretted buying it. It is expensive, but I got it for myself for my birthday last year. I got the Stripology XL.

I got the XL one too, and when I tried it out, I ordered the Mini one for classes.

I have one and find it very helpful for projects where there are lots of strips or squares to cut. There are also markings for other angles and shapes. Realize it's set up for 1/2" increments, and requires repositioning of fabric to get anything at 1/4" sizes. GE Designs has a lot of videos; I'd recommend watching the Stripology XLruler video to learn more before spending the $$. For me, it was worth the price.

I don't have the Stripoligy ruler but I do have a 2.5 x 12.5 and I use it all the time

I did not like the June Taylor strip cutter. The acrylic was wobbly and I'd end up with crooked strips. I LOVE the Stripology. I got rid of my Accuquilt Go! and all dies as they took up a lot of room, the cutter was heavy, and the Stripology cuts straight shapes better for me.

I love my Stripology ruler - worth every penny. Also have several June Tailor rulers - good but not as stable as Stripology.

Like you, I do not have all the strip cutting dies for my Accuquilt Go! and am not likely to either. I did find the ruler a bit difficult to use and did not find it worth the money for the ruler. I mastered sub cuts quickly with the Accuquilt. I find I only use the 1 1/2", the 2 1/2", and the 3 1/2" strips.

I love my stripology ruler, I have it in two sizes. However I don't know if I'd use it for making this pattern.

I have several stripology rulers. They're okay-better and more sturdy than the ones that Joann's and Walmart sells. Watch the videos for them-they show a ton of ways to use them. I like the smallest one the best.

Thanks all! I will give the ruler a try....always fun checking out a new ruler!

Are the rulers only right handed or the numbers on the rulers for left handed as well?

I've made this quilt several times and did not use the Stripology ruler. You can totally make this quilt without anything other than your standard ruler. Just watch her video and do it! I have just finished a red and white one and am currently working on a low volume background with grays in it.
