Questions & Answers

It looks like we have two going on here. What does it look like now? It's much smaller than I expected. I appreciate it. ?

a yellow ruler in my hand, and mine measures one 1/2 inch wide. I had no idea this one was two inches wide. That is 8 inches wide? This is far more convenient than I expected, especially when paper piecing and such.

Could you please provide me with the pineapple block instructions?

It is a pineapple ruler from Creative Grids and I've used it in several patterns. It is necessary to have a paper piecing pattern for the pineapple in order to use this ruler. There is no specific pattern for that block, but you can find a pattern for it on any site that gives away free A domain block is a common one.

Where are the differences between the first version and the "2020" edition?

There isn't much difference between the two, as far as I can tell. It is useful in paper piecing, and I own the older version.

Getting the AAQ Plus is the way to go if you want a tapered edge for paper piecing
3/5

My old Add-Ons were in very poor condition so I purchased this to replace them It wasn't until the end of Quarter PLUS that I realized the difference between the Add-On and Quarter PLUS The Addendum to Attachment A of the Attachment A Quarter ("AAQ") This is the PLUS quarter. As well as the add-a-border, the Plus has a tapered edge that makes paper piecing easier, as well as a removable base for easy cleaning. We feature a quarter feature every quarter. As you can see, this ruler has the additional features The machine has a quarter feature, which is still quite useful for quilting, however, it lacks the I like how sturdy and easy it is When it comes to paper piecing, however, the Plus is the best product.

This tool provides you with a 1/4" seam allowance when you're paper piecing
5/5

In the past few months, I have started quilting and am learning different techniques in order to make quilts. This can be accomplished through the use of It was recommended to me that I use this ruler to make sure I leave a 1/4" seam allowance when I have no problems with it. The tool may seem unnecessary when a regular ruler can be used to ensure the seam allowance is right, but it can save a lot of time because of the small lip on the edge where the 1/4" line is positioned- Thus, you simply place the blade against the edge of the board It is not necessary to straighten the ruler to ensure the correct amount has been left. For quilters who are interested in paper piecing, this is an awesome and time-saving tool.

My paper piecing quilting will be so much easier with this
5/5

My paper piecing quilting will be so much easier with this. With it, I can quickly and precisely cut fabric excess and get exactly what I need for seam allowances. The ruler is a great tool to have when you are planning on doing any paper piecing! In the picture I attached you can see a quilt block made by Although it's not the most intricate block, the yellow fabric is thin enough that the excess fabric behind the block can be seen, and the straight and even lines can definitely be seen. This ruler is responsible for all of it!.

In the process of paper piecing, this is a valuable tool! As part of this add-on An example of paperpiecing quilting is paper piecing with quarter rulers
5/5

In terms of accuracy when piecing paper, it is absolutely invaluable. The best way to get introduced to this amazing way of "building" an image that is perfection in fabric is by watching online videos. In addition to arriving on time and in excellent condition, the item was nicely packaged. It is highly recommended that you own this ruler and learn how to paper piece.

I've been using this a lot more than I thought
4/5

In order to do paper piecing, I need to use this ruler which I obtained from a class. This was something I did not think would be helpful, but it was! It's amazing how convenient it is! By using the pattern, you can quickly trim the fabric on the pattern and leave the seam allowance as needed. There is only one complaint, which is that the ruler is not wide enough so you have to be careful not to put your fingers in the way of the Since I've used it many, many times at home, I recommend it to you.
