Does Anyone Have this ruler?
Morning everyone, I was wondering if anyone here had the Primitive Pinwheel rulers? I purchased some patterns and didn't realize that you couldn't use the Twister tools for these. Thanks Bunches

I don't have one but based on looking at them on line it appears you could make your own template...or you could mark the twister tool for the pinwheel markings(eg., use a red sharpie to mark the pinwheel lines on the twister tool, which has black markings as I recall.)

we don't overload the site
I have two sizes of this ruler. One makes a 1 3/4" finished block and one makes a 1" finished block. The Twister rulers are much bigger so maybe that is the difference?

If the pattern you have requires one of the Primitive Pinwheel Tools, you can use the Twister rulers. Your finished design will be larger. If you want to use the Lil' Twister, you will need to start by sewing 5" squares together. If you want to use the Midi Twister Ruler, you will sew 6 1/2" squares together. I wouldn't recommend using the regular Twister Ruler, because chances are, it will finish significantly larger than a king size quilt. Don't hesitate to contact the designer and see if they can help you figure out how much fabric you'd need and what the finished size would be.
