Default Guidelines 4 Quilting connecting rulers

Has anyone ever tried these rulers? You can get them with connectors, and connect several together. Also, they have a movable edge to line up fabric against.

I wasn't sure if I could post a link.

Ok, so was just thinking, I see links posted all the time! Here is a link for these rulers for easy reference.

Are you quilting on a DSM or a LA?? I tried it on my older Bernina and I didn't like trying to hold the ruler in place and moving the quilt at the same time. I did lose a large portion of my motor skills when I became disable.

I use the small one a lot, especially when I am cutting 3 3/8 inch squares. I haven't tried connecting any because I only have the one ruler.

ManiacQuilter2 - the rulers I was looking at were for cutting the fabric. I have not tried any ruler work on my DMS (I quilt on my DSM also). I liked seeing your picture, because I had been wondering what "ruler work" was on a DMS - now I have a visual! Love the colors in your quilt, by the way! :-)

Looks interesting, but I have accumulated probably every size ruler over the years I've been doing this. Maybe if I were just beginning, this would be a good investment, but at this point, no.
