Hi, my guild does a BOM in which a lot of the EQ7 designs require the blocks be cut in the 3 7/8" squares. As best I try, none of my rulers have a clear definitive 7/8" mark on them. Which is the best ruler to show this 7/8" mark?
Thanks

I like the Creative Grids rulers. I have them in two lengths. They do have clear 1/8" markings.
But for the most part, if I need to cut 3 7/8" squares which will be cut into half square triangles, I will just cut them at 4" and then trim the units down at the same time I cut off the dog ears.

I use the June Taylor Exact Eights ruler for cutting 3 7/8" squares. I do not like cutting anything that calls for eights. The June Taylor ruler has been a life saver for me! The ruler makes cutting eights both accurate and fast. With that ruler, I no longer dread cutting 3 7/8" squares.

I love my Creative Grid rulers. Have them in many sizes. I too would rather cut larger and square up perfectly. My FAVORITE "gadget" for this step is the BlocLoc half square triangle ruler. I use it every single time, and they are so perfect. The nice groove in them eliminates the rocking ruler.
