Thanks for the heads up! This is a great reminder for us to check the accuracy of our rulers before beginning a quilt. You were thoughtful to post this so we can take a moment to do that before making a possible time-consuming and costly cutting error. Sure, not all rulers are "off", but they could be and should be checked for accuracy. :)

Oh, forgot to say. It also makes a difference if you put the desired line "on" the edge of the fabric or "right over" the edge of the fabric. People place their rulers in different places and sometimes we don't think it matters much but that is why sometimes when you do blocks swaps that the blocks are just a teeny bit off.

That's good news. They better get it right!

[QUOTE=mim;5004773]Yesterday at my quilt guild I taught a class on tumbling blocks without "Y" seams. The first cut is 60 degrees. Everyone who used a 60 degree template ruler was off!!!!
Any chance you'd consider posting a tutorial here on making tumbling blocks without "Y" seams? I'll bet a lot of us would love it! |
sure -- there is one also on Utube but I had a hard timem visualising what to do so I made my own pix and text. I have to scan them into my PC so I can post. I'll do it later in the day.

Thanks I'd like to see the pictures too. I have dial-up yet, and the Utube videos take so long to download.

To Gayle Bong I have tried ordering your tool on line since you are doing a workshop for our guile in April but keep getting a message the site is unavailable due to bandwidth limit. Looking forward to the workshop but wanted to try it in advance
