    I was thrilled with the idea and bought them when first introduced. Not even produced yet and I waited for them. Sad to say, they don't do anything for me. I have tried them a couple of times. Would be happy to part with them for a fraction of what I paid.

    This is what works for me to. Starch them before I do a final trim. Perfect HST and flying geese.

    All I know is: it is easy to buy rulers you will probably never use. I have some I thought I would use, had them for years and not used them yet.

    The rulers look interesting but I'm afraid I would lose the attachments. Just as easy for me to use my regular rulers. Let us know if you like them.

    Well, I did buy these as a new quilter......they are still in the pack! I guess I really need to pass them along!

    They see expensive for me when I can just add the seam allowance and cut with my regular ruler.

    HSTs are so easy to make. Why bother with another ruler?

    Looks kind of complicated. But no thanks, I'll just use that $ for something other.
    I love PP!!! All of my blocks are done PP.. So if I see a pattern I like, I'll try to draw out my own pattern.

    The 2 rulers that make my life easier are the cutting ruler with the blade in the ruler and the June Tailor shape cutter.
    I have other rulers for other uses but for cutting material these are the greatest in my book.
