Hi I'm Moda Designer Pat Sloan and I'm EXCITED share some 'Ruler Talk' with you.
I think it might be fair to say you can't quilt without a ruler. Well you can, but the days of scissors and cardboard templates are behind us (Thank goodness!)
When I was contacted by Sullivan's USA and asked if I'd be interested in working on a revolutionary new ruler .. well I said "YES"! That started a lively year of designing and product testing that resulted in a ruler that is a game changer.
The right side of the ruler has a sharpener embedded in the edge. Every time you use the ruler you 'sharpen' your blade, just like when you use a knife sharpener.
My part in the process was to develop the unique grid system.
I asked for 3 colors on my ruler (yeah!).
The black lines are 'whole number' 1,2,3,4.... and they are the 1/4" increments
The red are always 'half way' 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5.....
The white are the 1/8".. well you know what those are!
For the Squares I created this Unique "Set in" line system to help you square up blocks. The straight rulers are set up differently (which you can see on the videos below)
You will 'Tuck' your block into the corner. Here I'm working on a 3.5" square.
Once you have it tucked in, not under but next to, the red line, you can trim to a perfect 3.5" square!
Below are three videos I made sharing all the features and sizes the ruler comes in.

I love the look of the rulers and what a bonus if you can sharpen your blade at the same time. I will watch for these at my LQS.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they do a left-hand version?
ReplyDeleteNice quilt in the picture. Can you give me the name of the pattern?
ReplyDeleteWe like these rulers!
ReplyDeleteI have seen these rulers on line but not in any stores and didn't know anyone who had one - I wondered if they really worked.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! What a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeletethank you for the 3 color markings, especially the white 1/8" marks -- phew, no more guessing!
ReplyDeleteand I love your square-up rulers.
Looks awesome! What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have one of these rulers. I am left-handed and cutting is always a challenge for me. Anything that makes it easier is a great thing for me. Thanks. Patsy
ReplyDeleteI like the grid you created - maybe fewer cutting mistakes by cutting 2/1/4 rather than 2 1/2! Plus the fact that it will make my blades go further is a plus. Thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteGreat markings on that ruler. I like the different color lines for different increments.
ReplyDeleteI am lazy with changing blades...this would really help with my cutting!
ReplyDeleteI love the three color system. I think that might help to "look" at the right line!
ReplyDeleteThis is quite the ruler. It sharpens your blade while you are cutting. Just awesome. Gotta win. Gotta have it. Thanks for the chance to win. Every quilter will definitely want this ruler. Quite unique. Definitely.
ReplyDeleteSandi Timmons
Wow I need that ruler. It seems that I am always having to change my blade after a few cuts. This would change my life. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI never seem to have extra rotary blades when I need them. The idea behind this ruler is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to not wear out the blade so often. I want to try this ruler.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have this ruler. Sharpen blades as we cut is awesome.
ReplyDeleteSharpen as you go is a brilliant idea Pat! Your three colors will make things much easy for those of us with older eyes! Thanks for the give away!
ReplyDeleteSharpening the rotary blades has always been a problem for me. I always seem to let them go to lng. This is aboon to guilting. I really want one!
ReplyDeleteLove that 'tuck in' feature on the square up ruler! I've been wondering about these rulers, and since my old ones need replacing shortly, will be looking at these, for sure!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea and it would be so nice to have a sharp blade.
ReplyDeleteGives "Measure twice and cut once" a whole new meaning. Thanks for all the thoughtful markings. I would love to own one.
ReplyDeleteI do so much cutting and the idea of a ruler that sharpens my blade, awesome!! Would love to try these out!!
ReplyDeleteHi,this new ruler sounds great! I'd love the sharpening feature! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletemsstitcher1948@yahoo.com
I would love to try this new ruler because of the ease in finding the 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 inch markings! I find that clever! I like the fact that the ruler is clear, as well.
ReplyDeleteFinally, distinct markings in colors! I cant wait and will definitely start looking for these in the stores.
ReplyDeleteThis would be a ruler I would use a lot. Love the idea of sharpening the blade as you use it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWould love to win as I tend to use my blade until it no longer cuts without lots of skipped places.
ReplyDeleteThis ruler looks like something I'd like to try - I really like the three color grid, and saving money by not buying new blades all the time would be a real plus.
ReplyDeleteI should like to get one ruler because I can save on the blade!
ReplyDeleteThe colored markings on your rulers is a great idea...I would love to try one...I am all for anything to make cutting easier! And the bonus is you are getting your blade sharpened at the same time. What's not to like?
ReplyDeleteThat ruler sounds great with the sharpener on it, thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeletesmjohns63 at yahoo dot com
I'd love to try out this ruler. A sharpener on the edge--how cool is that? Love the coloured lines too!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the built in sharpener and also for some reason i tend to slice of the corners of my rulers with the blades and I think this edging will stop that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win.
Shawn
Very interesting and a great new tool. As I'm getting older and so are the eyes, the new red line would be very helpful. Would very much like to try this.
ReplyDeleteI love the different colors ~ that would make me make less errors ~ and the love the part of sharpening my rotary cutter as I work ~ Win...Win....Situation!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
senoraresources@msn.com
I would love to try these! I'm always replacing dull blades and that costs a fortune! A ruler that sharpens my blade? Yes, please!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to get one of these for my mother who goes through blades really quickly as she doesn't have a lot strength and needs very sharp blades all the time. This ruler could be a life safer for her (not to mention a money saver!). Love those red lines too. Wonderful.
ReplyDeletesunshdws at yahoo dot com
I'd like to try the rulers because my blades seem to get dull so quickly and leave 'holidays' where they don't cut. And the red lines look like a wonderful idea!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try out this ruler !!! I am a rulerholic love to try new and old rulers out! You never know what is going to work for you! LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome ruler!! I have been thinking about getting a blade sharpener. This ruler would be fantastic because it would mean I wouldn't have to drag out the sharpener. I could be sharpening every time I cut. That is just fabulous! Thanks for the chance to win one.
ReplyDeleteThese are the absolute best rulers. I use mine all the time and would really like to have another size.
ReplyDeleteThank you Pat and Sullivan and Moda.
Great Idea! Nice ruler.
ReplyDeleteI love the 3 color lines and the fact that I can sharpen my blade at the same time!! I need these rulers!!
ReplyDeleteFor years I've been looking for just the right ruler. I have dozens. This one looks as close to perfect as possible and I'll definitely try it. Oh how I'd love to get rid of some of these rulers!
ReplyDeleteI'm a ruler junkie and make tons of quilts every year. That ruler is awesome and the sharpening edge sounds wonderful just what I need. Thanks for the great giveaway. Judi
ReplyDeletei really like these rulers, everything is easy to see, (older eyes need more help lol). the red lines are a great idea.
ReplyDeleteOMG -- it is so about time. I save my "old" dull rotary blades to use on paper -- now it seems, I always have at least 10 paper blades and lucky if I have an extra blade to make it through my latest project. Would SOOOO love to have this ruler!!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great ruler to have. I can save money on new blades.
ReplyDeleteThese rulers are brilliant ! Great markings and love the the sharpener edge.
ReplyDeletethanks for the giveaway
I'd love to try this ruler because I've never seen one before!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Why didn't I think of that! Rotary blades are expensive so I'd love to try anything that makes them last longer.
ReplyDeleteLovin' the fact that this ruler sharpens my rotary cutter blade, and those 1/8" ruler marks - wow!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! Perfect for squaring up half square triangles.
ReplyDeleteI have admired Pat Sloan for a long time, and I would love to try out a product she recommends. Sharpening the blade while you cut is a wonderful concept.
ReplyDeleteYour 3-color marking system sounds like it would be easy for someone like me with beginning cataracts who has trouble identifying the various marking on other rulers. Can't wait to see this at my lqs to test it! Thank you. kathleen dot lutz at doh dot state dot nj dot us
ReplyDeleteI totally need sharper blades. I'd love to try. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteOh this is a GREAT idea for a ruler. I have to have one for so many reasons. I tend to wear out my rotary cutters so fast, I have even dropped one right after I replaced the blade and got a knick on it. The cutting lines on the square up are wonderful too!!
ReplyDeleteI'm all about having a sharp blade and I love the different colors on your rulers! Such a smart idea!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try this ruler for pre-cut strips and charms - those little pinked edges drive me crazy when I'm trying to line them up. It looks like this ruler will really help with that!
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea, I could use this as much as many others.
ReplyDeleteTeaching the offspring to use a rotary cutter is a joy to behold.
I would love to try this ruler - I'm a gadget freak!
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect idea~ I can't believe no one has made a sharpening ruler yet!
ReplyDeleteI'm dealing with Keratoconus, a corneal disease, which mostly causes focus issues and double lines. I need something with bold lines to help me cut accurately. I'm willing to try anything!
ReplyDeleteThese rulers look like they would be easy to read with the three colors. Also, the sharpening edge is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try the Sullivan's Edge ruler - what an innovation! I love Pat's method of ensuring that you're cutting correctly with the color coded system. Way to go, Pat. If I try this ruler maybe my squares will all be cut to size perfectly plus my cutter will be sharpened in the process. What a bonus! Thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea! I'd love to try one of those out sometime. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteGreat. Idea! Would love to give its try!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I'd like to try it for potential use (or even sale) in my own shop.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of sharpening while cutting and the 3 colors of lines is great!
ReplyDeleteWow, finally a well planned ruler that does "everything", I love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful idea--I hate to have to stop and sharpen my rotary blades!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try out this new ruler!! Not only are the markings very visible but my rotary blade gets sharpened with each cut... Awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy do I want to try out this ruler? Because I have some very dull blades and if these blades can be sharpened by cutting material then I say WHAHOO!! Yes, this is awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteThe ruler looks really neat. I would love one that sharpens as you cut. What a great idea. Thank you...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I'm always running out of blades and having the ability to lengthen the life of a blade would be amazing. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteWOW!! These look like they would be easy to read. I like the red markings for squaring up your block. Thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteWell, I am getting older--sigh, and my eyesight isn't what it used to be. Those red lines should help me with accuracy.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! A dream come true! Thanks for letting us all know about this wonderful ruler. I need one now!
ReplyDeleteWow, That's a ruler I could REALLY use!
ReplyDeleteI would love a ruler that aharpens my rotary blade. I like the idea of putting the line next to the fabric as that is my tendancy anyway.
ReplyDeleteThis ruler looks awesome! What a great way to sharpen your blade while you cut and measure!
ReplyDeletemissysaprons@gmail.com
For some one who hates changing blades this is a godsend.
ReplyDeleteSome very practical features. Would love to try it.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of sharpening the blade while cutting. That is what I like about this ruler. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of three line colors! That will be so much easier on our eyes. Many thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to try out this ruler as my sharpeners are not all that satisfactory and I'm hoping this will be better.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of this ruler, finally one that I of aging eyes can see without guessing, do I put it on the line, beside the line,etc....? It looks like this one will do all the work, just line up a "color". Great
ReplyDeleteThis is the best invention since the wheel! LOL I am notorious for wearing out my blades since I apparently apply a lot of pressure when I rotary cut! Sometimes I take a bite out my corners. Every ruler I own have nipped corners!
ReplyDeleteI need this ruler!!! I love that it sharpens the rotary cutter blade while you cut and the three color lines. REvoluntionary!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have this ruler. Dull rotary blades cause skipping for me. I try to get the most mileage out of a blade, but it is never enough. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteIf this ruler will save blades, count me in. Love the 3 color markings.
ReplyDeleteThis would be a fantastic money saver...money to spend on more patterns and fabric! Can't wait to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteOhh, who wouldn't want this ruler! I love how easily and accurately a sharp blade cuts. If this ruler helps keep blades sharp, I want one! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try it because I always have trouble seeing where the corner is when I am squaring up my blocks. This looks like it would make that a lot easier!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Sandy A
Two reasons: It would be wonderful to always have a sharp blade, and this looks like a great way to square up blocks! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThis ruler has everything I look for and need on a consistent basis!
ReplyDeleteAh, this ruler would simplify so much!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try this ruler because I can only get my blades from overseas and they cost me a fortune!
ReplyDeleteThe sharpening edge is genius! I would love to try one out.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first I have heard of this ruler. I would love to try it out. Love the sharpening idea for sure. But the easy color coded markings would be a godsend to me. Thank you so much for a chance to enter to win one of these. I am sure everyone learns about these they will sell like hot cakes
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the three-color differentiation on the grid. I have been cutting a lot of squares in the /8th end of things, and it can be so confusing to see all of those little lines! (That sounds ridiculous, but it's true.) Having different colors would keep me oriented and prevent mis-cuts.
ReplyDeleteI always get nicks in my blades and it sounds like your ruler could help that issue.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
I need one of these rulers---I always procrastinate and wait to change my blade waaaay past it's cutting life and then I wonder why I tortured myself using such a dull blade!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean "like to try out this ruler"? I would LOVE to try out United Notions' Sullivan's Cutting Edge rulers. I can only imagine what I will do with all the time I will save by not having to sharpen my blades separately. So many quilts are swimming in my head saying...."You could make me!"
ReplyDeleteKristy soardkgatfusedotnet
At the rate one could potentially go through rotary blades, I know I would love to have a ruler that could sharpen the blades rather than having to replace as often.I could really save some money.
ReplyDeleteThe sharpening aspect is the big draw, but I love the idea of the red lines at the half inch marks.
ReplyDeleteI love how the lines are marked very clearly!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of the sharpener! Anything to not be buying blades over and over sounds great!
ReplyDeleteHis,
Gina
I would LOVE to try this tool. Looks as if it is designed to be both easy on the eyes (nicely marked) AND easy on the pocketbook (sharpening)
ReplyDeleteI would love to try out this ruler! It looks like it will make squaring up a breeze, and who wouldn't want to keep their blades sharp?
ReplyDeleteWow, this is brillianT1 I hate paying for blades all the time, they get expensive!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try out this ruler. The system of lines is very visible, and I am guilty of not replacing my rotary cutter blades often enough. Sharpening while cutting would be wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the rulers and what a bonus to have yor blade sharpened each time you use the ruler.
ReplyDeleteI'd love these rulers just because I'm so bad at changing my blades! And a non slip ruler would also be great: I can't count how many cuts I've made where the ruler has slipped!! Thanks for the chance to win one!! :-)
ReplyDeleteA ruler that sharpens your rotary cotter blade is just ingenious!
ReplyDeleteI love the ruler it looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
It would be awesome to have a ruler that sharpens the blades! I would love to win this.
ReplyDeleteOh I would love to own this ruler , those lines in different Colors would be so helpful . Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I kinda feel guilty when I dispose of my dull blades but this ruler would help for sure.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a brilliant ruler! Great features that would really help with accurate cutting & your rotary cutter stays sharp as well - talk about a win-win! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI'm terrible at changing my blades often enough - this would help so much!
ReplyDeleteMy rotary blade is ALWAYS in motion hence it is ALWAYS dull!! I would love to give this ruler a test drive!! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeletePaulette
Why? Because this ruler is a win-win ruler. I get accurate squares and sharp blade. Win-Win!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try out the Sullivans rulers. It looks like they are the best of all situations: good sizes, great markings, easy viewing, sharpens your blade every cut!
ReplyDeleteWell...blades are expensive and since I have gotten back into quilting I found that I am running through blades like water. This looks like the answer. I love the markings on the rulers too.
ReplyDeleteI love that it will sharpen your rotary cutter. Plus it will be so easy to square up blocks. The accuracy will be wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI'm smitten with the tuck it in to cut perfect squares feature. NICE!
ReplyDeleteWow. Looks like a great ruler. no matter how i try, my cust are very seldom totally "square". this looks like it would help a lot. Thanks so much for sharing
ReplyDeleteI have wondered if they really work... Love the three color idea, I considered buying one just for the red....my favorite color!!!
ReplyDeleteThe markings are great, less chance of cutting mistakes and sharpens rotary cutter blades. It just doesnt get any better. babscorbitt@ gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win one of these rulers. I would like to win one so I could save money on rotary blades.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking that the 3 different colors on the ruler will make it a lot eaiser to "cut" sharp and purfect with out resorting to putting tape on the rulers
ReplyDeleteBuying fewer blades means buying more fabric. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of different colored markings!
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to like!? The different colors for the lines is especially useful - in addition to that built-in sharpener. I would love to have several of these.
ReplyDelete1/
I'd like it because the red/black/white lines save time in lining it up, and because I'd like to have the sharpening edge so that my rotary blades would last longer
ReplyDeleteI like the different color markings and the message for the bias line- no more searching for it. I would love to win one of the rulers! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI think this ruler will be the best of two worlds. I have M.S. and the start of Macular Degeneration, the different colored lines will be a plus for those of us with eye problems and keeping our blades sharp at the same time is truly a great thing. Blades are expensive!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea that each color is a different measurement and to have a ruler also sharpen your rotary blade is an added plus. I've never seen them before, I'd love to try it. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! And with a metal edge the ruler won't get chipped either. Can't wait for these to get to my LQS
ReplyDeleteI would love to try this kind of ruler. Cutting is not my favorite thing and this looks like it would improve my results. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo ingenious. Can't wait to start replacing the old ones
ReplyDeleteVery well thought out to cover so many issues, love the 3 color system and really love the ruler sharpening. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
ReplyDeleteGreat concept! Easy to see grid and sharpens your blade when you cut?? I love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm not as sharp as I use to be, so maybe I need this ruler
ReplyDeleteThe varied colors are great and a built in sharpener is ingenius. Thanks for the opportunity to participate!
ReplyDeleteI like the look of those rulers. I would love to use one for cutting out my christmas quilts! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a ruler. Like the concept of three different colors at the three increments and the bonus of sharpening the rotary blade as you cut your fabric.
ReplyDeleteWhat an ingenious design. I'd love to try it.
ReplyDeleteJust think this is awesome. My rotary blade always needs sharpening.
ReplyDeleteDear Pat and Moda,
ReplyDeleteI love these rulers I already have several a 61/2 square ruler, 81/2x 41/2 ruler and a 121/2 square ruler as well and they all meet my needs sew perfectly! So therefore I don't mind if I don't win! But I wanted to share some comments with you all. It is fantastic ruler and helps with perfect cutting everytime. The sharpening device is also great and sharpens your blade perfectly. It certainly has given me more confidence in cutting by defining the cutting line with the black and red lines. You won't be making a mistake if you buy any of these rulers. Julie Beard Adelaide Australia.
Wow, this looks like an awesome ruler, love the sharpener and also the grids are well defined and easier to align, would love to get one of these :)
ReplyDeletewhat a brilliant idea! Looks like the numbers & lines are easily visible on a variety of colored fabrics - and all around good product I would say!
ReplyDeletewow! That looks too good to be true.I need all the help I can get with cutting fabric.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try out this ruler because I use my blades until they're so dull, I have to cut everything three times to catch all missed spots. I've got plenty of spare blades; I'm just to lazy to change them!
ReplyDeleteI have thrown away so many knicked blades, this would be great! I also like the lines on the ruler, easy to see.
ReplyDeleteThese rulers look great! I have one of probably every brand out there and they're all missing "something". These seem to have it all! Enjoyed the videos but the last two seem to be the same video.
ReplyDeleteLove these new rulers. Love the tuck it in feature, very clear markings,that helps with my accuracy and or course the blade sharpener. I am another one that just leaves that blade in until I am forcing it and I wear down the edges of my favorite rulers and the they are not accurate any more.

ReplyDeleteYay - another brilliant solution - love the edging on these rulers and the bonus of sharpening. Simply brilliant! Thanks for the chance to win ... and I will keep an eye out at my LQS as well!
ReplyDeleteWhite and black and red marks. Hurray!! Thank-you so much. I hate all my yellow rulers, can't see the marks. Not that fond of some of my others where the marks are "pale." I'm old, I don't see well. The sharpen part is an added bonus. Oh yes that frosted stuff is just a pain to see through in my book.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like my blade is always going dull, so this would be a perfect solution!!! Thanks for the chance
ReplyDeletewhat a great way to extend the life of the blades. I hate cutting with a dull blade and this would really help!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try this ruler to make cutting easier!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of these, and even seen some in a quilt shop not long ago. It's a REALLY great idea, and I've love the chance to win one. Thanks so much for the opportunity!!
ReplyDeleteHoping I win one to try.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win one. That way I could try it for free.
ReplyDeleteGreat ruler. I love the bold markings and now the rotary cutter remains sharp also!
ReplyDeleteI love the dark red line. It would really stand out against the fabric below.
ReplyDeleteOH...I have two of the rulers but don't have a square. I want a square as I love the red lines for squaring up. Hope I win one.
ReplyDeleteLove your three-color grid system..and being able to sharpen my blade while cutting....great ideas!!! Thanks for the sweet giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteThe color grid system is great. The large yard stick ruler is a dream come true. thank you Sullivan's and Pat for bringing this ruler to quilters everywhere.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great day.
Since I go thru so many blades, why not try these rulers, anything to help the dull blade syndrome
ReplyDeleteOh! This ruler looks super! I absolutely love the new edge treatment. I have a tendency to want to cut the RULER trying to be so accurate. With this, maybe I won't accidentally slice the edge :)
ReplyDeleteThese rulers are the bomb. As having to replace blades, any quilter would love to have one of these rulers. Just imagine using all the rulers how long your blade would last. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
ReplyDeleteThe mats are great as well. Love the markings on each side.
Pat,
ReplyDeleteLove your radio show and it always makes me want to check out your site and all people quilt site! I would love this revolutionary new ruler-count me in!
What could be better than cutting AND sharpening!
ReplyDeleteI would like a 6 x 24 inch ruler with a sharpening edge because I just paid $38 for a power rotary blade sharpener and it doesn't work! I am a senior citizen on social security income and I cannot afford that kind of investment for something that does not work.
ReplyDeletePat - looks like a great idea. I've thought about what a good thing it would be if my ruler actually sharpened my blade! Thanks for a great ruler!
ReplyDeleteI would love to own one of these rulers!! I have not been quilting that long and have a problem of cutting on my rulers. I have no idea how I keep doing this but I am sure with your ruler I will have an "edge" on cutting...no pun intended!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to win the ruler, I hope I am the lucky one!!! ;)
I would like to try one of your rulers because I go through so many blades with my Gingher rotary cutter. I thought the blades would stay sharp longer than the others because their scissors are great, but they don't.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to sharpen my blades while cutting! I also love that the lines for the divisions are below the actual lines. That will make squaring up half square triangle blocks easier. Thanks, Pat, for that great idea!
ReplyDeleteAs I get older, my eyes are not as sharp, and I really appreciate different color lines on the rulers. Easier to see, and easy to use!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a ruler junkie. I always have to have the newest thing! I love the idea of the blade sharpener!
ReplyDeleteWhy would I like to use these rulers...the 3 color system (it shows up so nicely), the grid, the binding reminder. The biggest decision is which one to try first. I like all of them but I'd definitely will have to buy the yard stick first. No more problems cutting fleece or home dec and squaring up the quilts will be a LOT easier. Great job!!!! And thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a ruler that sharpens my rotary cutter because I am not always great at changing my blades. I also struggle with getting my longer cuts straight.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea to sharpen your rotary cutter while using it to cut fabric.... thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try out these rulers- how wonderful to sharpen blades at the same time! Less money on blades, more money for fabric ;)
ReplyDeleteThe rulers look awesome! I like the markings and the idea of sharpening my rotary blade every time I cut. I would LOVE to try them! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhat great rulers, can use a new one as I tend to cut the edge as I'm cutting. Would love to try them. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to win one of these rulers! I go through so many blades, the idea of sharpening them while I work just boggles my mind!
ReplyDeleteWould love a ruler like this. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteLooks great, good tools are so important.
ReplyDeleteWow - what will you think of next! I'd love to try these
ReplyDeleteLooks great, good tools are so important.
