    Thanks for the video link. It was interesting and a new idea in how to cut fabric. The ruler set he was using could be useful.

    I have to say the video is impressive! I'm a gadget person and I tend to use my gadgets, as long as they work as expected. I might get one to start with just to see how I would do with it. The website could definitely use some improvements, but they seem to have a lot of attractive products. I think they must rely on shows for most of their business. The man in the video does a very good job of demonstrating the product. I live in an urban area with plenty of quilters, but the nearest shop listed as having their rulers is in Waco, TX, about 2 hours away, so if I decide to get it, I'd have to order online, and that won't happen with a $10 shipping charge. Maybe I'll see them at a show.

    I received these as a Christmas gift after making my 6 grandkids Christmas quilts. I am not a very accurate cutter and apparently my husband sensed my frustration of cutting over 3000 2 1/2 inch squares. I have only made one quilt using the new rulers, but my pieces were very accurate.

    It might be alot cheaper to buy not at a quilt show. Things are usually higher unless like the last day if they put a sale on.

    After watching the video, I can see the value of these rulers for some quilters. I already have so many ways to cut strips, I really don't need another one. However, I could see someone who likes to use 2.5" squares investing in the 2.5" ruler to accurately subcut multiple layers of 2.5" strips. I'm not particularly keen on that ruler's ability to cut 45-degree angles since it leaves all the dog ears on the pieces. If I had difficulty cutting strips, I could see value in the 6" AQS ruler. The problem with buying the bundle is that some of those rulers may not get used very much. They should make a bundle of the AQS ruler and a 5" for people who want to cut lots of charm squares.

    It's too bad the website is so poor. I think they could do a lot more business with an updated website.

    I watched the demo at a quilt show and didn't buy them but regretted it after I got home. So at the next quilt show I watched the demo twice and purchased the set. I use the 6" ruler a lot and I love it especially if you are cutting lots of strips. I have used the 2 1/2" some. I think it was worth the investment. I think I might buy the 10" ruler at the next show I attend.

    I am curious - how much did the rulers you are interested in cost? I saw one video that demos the large ruler and the strip ruler, and the pmquilting.com web site (quite clunky, as others have noted) lists the strip ruler for $24.99, but I can't even find a listing for the large ruler.

    Answering my own question - at https://sparrowquiltco.com/collectio...cutting-rulers I found I found the large ruler listed at $54.80.

    The set of six rulers was $160 at the show. Online it's $189.99. So, it was a good deal for the set. I did not price them individually. I certainly should have. Buying one ruler would have been a good idea to test until next year. I wish I had thought of itl
