Hi.. It was so nice to meet you at the first meeting. I've been reviewing everyone's name in my mind so hopefully I will remember everyone at our next meeting.
I know that we gave you a lot of information. If you have any questions, please ask and we will clear it up.
This week's topic is "What is your favorite ruler?"
I recently found an article in an old Fons and Porter magazine about the Omni Grid #96 Ruler. When I looked at it, I thought, "I have that ruler, but I haven't used it since I made my first quilt." I couldn't remember what I had actually used it for, so the more I read, the more interesting it was. This ruler makes Half Square Triangles from 1" to 6". I noticed at the shop there is another ruler called the EZ Angler. It does the same thing. If you make HST in your quilts and you don't always have Thangles available or you are not that fond of making them just a little bigger and squaring them up, pick up your EZ Angler or the Omni Grid #96 Ruler.
So, tell us what is your favorite ruler and what do you use it for. You might not think it's special, but someone will and it may just become their favorite like it is yours.
Until next week. Happy Quilting....

Hi,
ReplyDeleteMy favorite ruler is the 6 x 24. It seems to be the one I use the most because it fits for most cutting projects. I cut my fabric on a cabinet, just like in your kitchen but without the backsplash. And I'm able to keep my ruler tight against the wall when cutting. It helps so the ruler doesn't slip when cutting.

I like the idea of using the wall when cutting so it doesn't slip. I'll be designing my quilting room soon and will have to consider this in my design. Thanks for sharing.
