    Default Quilter's Magic Wand

    Does anyone know where I could get something like a Quilters Magic Wand (but it wasn't a magic want) that has a slot down the mlddle for making lines?

    If you don't know what a Magic Wand is go here: mihttp://wishuponaquilt.com/notions/rulers/quilter-s-magic-wand.

    Once upon a time I had a ruler or a device that looked like a magic wand but had a slot in it. I'm unable to find one on-line or at home. I used it for marking lines for half square triangles.

    I would appreciate any help.

    Fons and Porter has one, Nancy Notions has another type of ruler that does this too.

    i've had this 12" one for years and used to use it a lot... now i just draw a line corner-to-corner and use my 1/4" foot to sew on either side. http://www.amazon.com/Quilters-Rule-.../dp/B000YZAN94
    it also comes in 8" http://www.amazon.com/Quilters-Rule-.../dp/B001701LBY

    THANK YOU QuiltNan that's exactly what I'm looking for. I searched Amazon for a loooong time today and didn't see this. I did, however, find over $50 worth of other things I couldn't live without. I just ordered 4 of the Quick Quarter Rulers. Two for me in case I misplace one and two for my daughter. Thanks again.

    Me too, this has been driving me and my daughter crazy for some time trying to find this notion. I still can't find the one I had. Maybe I had the shorter one and I'm not "seeing" it when I'm going through stuff. Again, A BIG THANKS.

    Doggramma - I'm with you. I do my own FMQ and getting them put together ready for FMQ on my domestic is what I don't like. I like mine to be spray basted and that stuff drifts so I like to do it on the deck outside or in the garage (after it's been washed down of course) and in Minnesota that's out of the question. I just finished Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt so have that one to do - I will get it done!
