Onebyone, this is very timely. We've just remodeled a room in our new home for my sewing room. After a very fast and unexpected work relocation across the country, my sewing room was the last to get unpacked. It's been over a year since I've seen some of my stuff. I have that exact ruler - still in the packaging just like your picture above. I wondered, "Hmm, wonder where I got this and what it does." I then put it in its place. I have not thought about it I found it last week. Thanks for the post and the youtube video. I can't wait to use it!

I have this from 2 different places--one is Fons & Porter and the one you have. Love them--especially on points to match them up without that dog eared business to cut off. I also use it to cut across binding strips before sewing them together. Wouldn't be without it.

I went straight to Amazon and purchased the ruler...the video is great...and I found another video showing 2 rulers, one being the EZ Angle that Bonnie Hunter uses so often (and it's use keeps escaping me) and the other this corner clipper...good video showing how to use both. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-FtVsfNUKg

No I put the ruler on the bottom and side of the two squares together.

I have always hated doing half square triangles. I would avoid them at all cost. Mine never turned out quite right. Then I saw a demo for this ruler. I didn't buy it then because I thought the price was just too much. I thought about this ruler for several weeks. I watched all the demos on line and really liked them. Jackpot---I finally found the ruler on line---the price was the same as the one I'd seen. I should have saved myself a lot of grief by getting the first one I saw. The good news is I LOVE IT. I found it very easy and accurate. Winner, winner chicken dinner. It certainly has my vote for "Worth it".
