    Default help me find this tool please

    On Sewing With Nancy today she featured HSTs and QSTs. She used an arrow shaped ruler that is adjustable to mark the diagonal lines on the back of the squares. I would like to find that ruler but missed the part where she gave the name of it, if she did.
    Can anyone tell me what it's called or where I can find it? Thanks!!

    This looks like what you describe.

    That sounds like a binding tool ruler. That ruler is also used to make the pieces for Braid quilts.

    I just use a pen and ruler, mark the center, then mark 1/4 inch of each side.

    I draw a.line down the middle, then sew a quarter inch from that line each side. That way, I do not add to the line by drawing three lines, which can throw off your quarter inch. In woodworking it is called a kerf.

    No hassle triangle gauge, $14.99. You will find it at Nancys Notions.com, scroll under best selling supplies and notions. I like it better than that skinny blue stick.
