I just had a workshop on Billie Lauder's tips. Her method of flying geeses was very good. Easy and came out great. I think I'll stick with that for now. I'd probably misplace the ruler and be out.

From the Villie Lauder video I found online, her method is similar to this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7WQp..._order&list=UL
Both of these methods however do require drawing a line on your fabric.
I've got a pattern picked out which requires the flying geese so I am interested in any method that will help me get points and corners matched up without me pulling my hair out.

I had an Angler in the past and sold it to someone because it just doesn't work unless you have a large flat area (or one of those acrylic things) around your machine. Now with the Bernina, it comes with a flat bed, so I guess I will look at getting it again. Great tip.
The Eleanor Burns method involves using her specialty rulers. It's fast, accurate and wonderful. However, you are limited to 4 sizes. I use her method most of the time, but sometimes I need another size. The Angler also works great for cheater corners and I do tons of those.

No you don't need the special ruler to do this....they are nice, but any square ruler will do. I have seen Eleanor herself do it this way on one of her older shows when the specialty rulers first came out. Just remember that there is a quarter inch seam allowance across the top and not on the sides....
