    Default Anyone have and use this new ruler? Update pictures added

    The ruler was super simple and fast to make 8 hsts at one time. Each one was perfect except the two I sewed off the sewing line a little. LOL I was in a hurry. The math is all calculated and the charts are matched to the ruler markings. No bias on the outside edges. It's easy to make any size finished HST you need. I used two charm squares to get eight
    2" hsts that will finish at 1 1/2" I did not have to square up!

    Triangulations 2. 0 and 3.0 gives better results and sizes for 1 inch to 7 1/2 inch half triangles

    She stated the sizes in her post:
    I used two charm squares to get eight
    2" hsts that will finish at 1 1/2" I did not have to square up!
    I have this ruler and thought I wasted my money until I used it. Nifty! The instructions are clear and fool proof with lots of extra size charts included. Bellaboo is right no squaring up needed. Each one is perfectly the size of all the others. I will use it more for 8 at time instead of just one or two.
