Opps I thought it was referring to the Clearly Slotted ruler. Yes the QIAD you have to flip the ruler.

Thanks for the info...that's what it looked like to me. For onebyone, you do this after you have squared up the HST. It looked like she just did that instead of using a scissors to trim the dog ears.

I have been using the Eleanor Burns rulers for years for this purpose and I have no problem trimming the dog ears as needed. I refuse to spend a considerable amount of money for every new thing that comes down the pike. Especially when I have something that has worked perfectly fine all along. JMHO
