These rulers have been designed so that all you have to do is cut and sew. From the manufacturer's promotional material: "With the four templates included in this set, you can make finished Scrap Crazy blocks that are 6 inches tall. All of the pieces can be cut from odd-sized scraps in your stash, or fabric can be stacked and cut multiples in minutes. Trim the tips as needed to ensure that the pieces always sew together perfectly, then embellish the seams with your favorite decorative stitches and threads. Make a whole quilt out of them, or use them to make a scrappy, decorative border. There are instructions included in the package.
The Triangle Piece A has a length of 4 inches. From the top point to the bottom point, the distance is 1/2 inch.
Except for template B, you could fit them all on a 5" square. It has a length of 6 1/2 inches.
Selected User Reviews For Creative Grids Scrap Crazy 6 Templates Quilt Ruler 4pc Set - CGRMT6
These squares are a lot of fun to make. My table runners came out looking fantastic. These templates make it simple, and because the blocks are rotated, they don't all look the same. Using the embroidery stitches that came with my machine was a lot of fun.
I chose four fabrics and rotary cut two of each template shape from each fabric to make eight blocks that are completely different but all coordinate - This template is fantastic!.
I've only been quilting for a year, but I just finished my first quilt using this template, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. For a newcomer, it is a little difficult. I'd take the reviews that say it's so simple that even a child could do it into consideration. Your cuts must be precise, and you must pay close attention to which parts sew to which as you sew. Early on, I realized that sewing the A was the best option for me. For all of the squares, start by putting B together. The C's and D's came next, and finally it was time to sew both of those combinations together. It was able to eliminate errors. Also, when cutting multiples, pay attention to how you fold your fabric. You might end up with mirror images if you don't. That may appeal to you, but it did not appeal to me. br>There are a plethora of other patterns that can be created by combining the individual parts. I'm thinking all A (Triangle) for my next one. I'm sure some people can come up with their own patterns based on the videos provided by the company. This is a company from which I will be purchasing more products.
The thick plexiglass templates are what they are. I took a bunch of random fabrics from my stash that were begging to be used in a children's quilt, and cut a bunch of squares to fit the pattern's overall size. I stacked the fabric in six-packs and used my rotary cutter to cut around the templates. Then I put everything together. I rearranged them in the template set's shape and sewed the squares back together according to the instructions; it was that simple. With the help of an adult to make the cuts, a child can make this quilt project, which is a lot of fun!.
My rulers arrived broken in the packaging, so I'll have to reorder. I was looking forward to starting a quilt, but I'll have to wait for now.
It grips the fabric really well, which I like. Because the templates do not slide, cutting is made easier.
br>br>Because this set does so much, there is a YouTube video that gives an overview. The markings on Creative Grids products are easy to read, and they are well-made. br>br>I bought the Scrap Crazy 6" book, which is a step-by-step guide to creating scrapbook pages. Utilize these templates to complete 7 different projects. This is one of my many Creative Grids templates and rulers, and it's quickly becoming a favorite!.
I haven't made a quilt with it yet, just some practice scraps, but it will be so much easier than figuring out what size and shape to cut myself. There are a few design ideas included, but you can change them up to your liking. It appeals to me.
