I’m very excited about all the info I read on your website, and I’m looking forward to actually trying these out. A light bulb went off in my head – So THAT’s why I have so much trouble with the math when designing my quilts! Thanks so much!!!

If you are mixing squares and half squares and quarter squares the math is perfect. you put the yellow guide on the line for your unit finished size and add one of the 3 strips that calculate the rest. I used it for the attached pic. I do not use it all the time but when you need it -it is perfect. pic is quilted by Heather.

I made a quilt for my nephew for his graduation present this year. I used your new ruler and love it. I literally got the entire quilt top done in 2 days!!! Makes things go amazingly fast.

Judy Miller - Eagle River, AK

I cut out over 200 2¼" squares today using your ruler. It took me 2 hours. If I had done it with a regular ruler, I’d still have some to cut tomorrow. This is the first time I have used the ruler and I am amazed.

I recently purchased two of the 12 inch rulers and the connector so that I can easily pack and carry a 24 inch ruler to my classes. It seems to be working great! I can put them together as one long piece, or as a right angle to square up the edges of a quilt. I love the fabric guide so I can set the strip width and then cut without too much fuss! I would highly recommend this product!

I am a person who cannot draw a straight line with a ruler. I am equally inept when cutting fabric. I waited a long time to receive your new connectible ruler which you guaranteed would not slip and that it would cut perfect strips each and every time.

So let me tell you what I think of your product; IT IS WONDERFUL! I received the rulers yesterday and immediately started on my new project. It took a little effort to get the two rulers connected, but I am assuming it is because they are a little stiff from being brand new. I set the rulers for the size strip I wanted, and to my amazement, the ruler did not slip and the strips were perfect. I am left-handed and this product easily worked for me. Congratulations! It was worth the wait.

"My friend, Judy of Endeavour Hills, Australia ordered your kit and she demonstrated it to me. I love it and have just ordered from your very well set up site. Love the little animations. Your product is marvelous! Wish I had known about it ages ago."

"Hello again,
I have received my Guidelines Kit and am thrilled with the accuracy I can achieve with these wonderful rulers. And I save so much time in my fabric cutting, so can get onto the sewing very quickly. I also love the Prep-Tool that allows me to trim triangles, what a great idea. It makes lining up the triangles much more accurate. And now I see that you have seam guides for the sewing machine – I wish I had noticed them when I placed my order. I will just have to do another order!

Thank you for your excellent service – my order arrived in Australia just a week after I placed my order."

Kelly Jones - Montgomery, AL

"I love your ruler and attachments for the 1/2, 1/4 square cuts!
Last June I was in an auto accident where I de-gloved my left hand....this made it almost impossible to use a rotary blade and ruler to cut...ONLY your system has made this possible again for me.
Thank you SO much for your products!!!!!!!!

Sue/Fat Quarter Quilters - Deer Park, WA

I heard about you on FabShop Hop and was very impressed. Do you have advertising pamphlets I could share with my quilt club members? Thank you for your excellent tutorials. I'm anxious to try the Prep Tool as a point trimmer to gain more accuracy in my piecing. I think the 1/4" positioner will be especially useful when doing group projects to set an exact scant seam allowance. A scant qtr. inch was something it took me many years to understand, so I think this would be especially helpful to new quilters.

Cristy Adamski

Thank you for the ruler. I just finished a quilt top. I tried it out and I have to say . . . W-O-W!!! I will NEVER use another ruler again!!!! This is amazing! I absolutely love it. My cuts are much more accurate as the ruler doesn't slip at all and I can cut out pieces so much faster with the marker in place. This is the coolest invention ever. I can't believe I waited so long to try it. What was I thinking!

Wanda - Hemet, CA

A friend of mine asked me to help her cut some strips for a class we were taking and there were quite a few to be cut. She had an AccuCut® and it took me quit a while. I was really tired by the time I got home, but decided to cut mine out with my new Guidelines ruler. It took me only half the time to cut the same strips for the class and it didn't tire me out nearly as much. I have since used my Guidelines4Quilting's system several times and I just love it. Great work!

Jo Ann - Mentor, OH

I received one of your Prep-Tools as a gift and wasn't sure exactly how to use it. Fortunately I viewed your website as part of the April Shop Hop and saw your instructional Flash Animations on how to use this tool.

Kudos to you for excellent and easy to understand directions on all your tools. I will be visiting and purchasing more items from you soon based on this visit. Keep up the great work! Thank you.

Anne - Vacaville, CA

"..I'm embarrassed to admit that I've been quilting for fifteen years and have had trouble with flying geese the whole time, cutting off points when sewing the triangles together. You'd never believe I was a math major in college and have such trouble with the math of triangles in quilting! No more! I experimented with the Guidelines and now I'll tackle more half-square and even quarter-square projects without worry! Thank you for inventing this so-easy-to-use system."

Penny - IL

I just wanted to drop you a note .... I was doing the fabshop hop and while looking for the bunny in the FAQ section I stopped and read the questions and answers and wanted to let you know you had some answers to some of my questions in there!! I learned a lot by reading your questions and answers.
Thanks , I will be back !!!

Betty - Siletz, OR

This (order) is a gift for my daughter since I have the full set of everything. They are the greatest thing since grated cheese. Thank You so very much.

Mary-Ruth - San Antonio, TX

I am traveling across country. I already use the 24" package and just love it. It and my 1/4" paper piecing ruler are just about the only ones I use. I have replaced almost all my rulers with yours.
Thanks, Mary-Ruth

I have to tell you the Prep-Tool is one of the best tools I’ve ever used in quilting. I have designed a quilt with a pieced border. Trimming the triangles with this tool made putting those blocks together so simple. I was very impressed! I am including it in the instructions under Other Items. When I do the kits, it will be included in each one.

I also pieced some diamonds into Tumbling Blocks. They went together so nicely. I have some sewn up to show people how easy it is to make that block. I decided to use some of the fabric I have on hand to make a Tumbling Block quilt. I have enough fabric to make kits for that and will include the Prep Tool in those as well.

I love my Quilt Ruler Connector so much that I ordered 5 more to share with my friends at a Christmas party.

Tammy - Walters, OK

Ordered my Finger Guards on Thursday, got a notice it had been shipped that day, received it on Saturday!!! What great service!! Loved it, used yesterday and did not feel the need to take the extra couple of seconds to make sure my fingers were out of harm’s way. Thanks for providing such a good and affordable tool. I have recommended this to people on two message boards that I frequent.

Sarah - CA

I bought your Finger Guards and I love them! They are so nimble and sturdy. I can finally let the kids cut their own fabric.

Stephanie - Hockley, TX

I bought your ruler at the International Quilt Festival in Houston two years ago, and I use it all the time. I just wanted you to know how much I love my ruler and that I just took it to class with me, and everyone fell in love with it. Thanks for making my job easier.


Leni - Santa Ana, CA

I have to say I love your ruler. I teach sewing at All Brands, Moores and Sew Vac and I will be showing it. It is the best!!!!!!

Jackie, the Whimsicals Mom - Lafayette, IN

I really love the ruler! It does not slip at all. I have tried numerous brands of rulers, with varying degrees of success as far as slipping goes. I have hand problems, and this ruler makes a big difference in fatigue....no more "finger walking" down the ruler and straightening the edge of the fabric. Your web site is great also..simple to visit and informative. Thanks for a great product!

Margaret -Scotland

Last night, I cut the strips for binding my quilt and the ruler worked wonderfully - no slipping!

Helen - Kilmarnock, VA

I played FabShop Hops last year and bought your system and I'm playing again this year and bought the two parts I did not have. Great system.

Leslie Oscarson -Fair Oaks, CA

I just wanted you to know how much I love my Guidelines ruler. I saw it on QNNTV and thought it looked interesting. At a local Sewing Festival I bought my own and will never look back! It's easy to use and accurate - and no slipping! Thanks again for inventing this jewel!

 

Cecile Lewis - Minneapolis, MN:

"...Last night I spent a considerable amount of time on your website really reading through the instructions.  The information I needed was all there.  Well presented, easy to understand and thorough.  Thank you.
 
I am now using your (now mine) ruler and I am really pleased! Matter of fact, your ruler is so stable and easy to read, I have almost dispensed with the fabric guides (smile).

There is a very large and diverse family of different brands and styles of acrylic rulers on the wall of my design room. The money I would have saved had your product existed when I began quilting would buy a whole lot of cloth! I am using your ruler right now to cut a large assortment of strips for a scrap quilt and the wonderful thing I can report is LACK OF FATIGUE! 

The ruler really does not slide at all.  Very little pressure is needed to keep it in place.  Also, it really is easier for me to read.  Lack of strain on my left (rulerholding) hand and shoulder, coupled with the fact that my eyes aren't worn out trying to see the numbers and tick marks is what I hoped this ruler would do for me.  Wow!  Those benefits are enough for me to feel that my $$ were well spent! 
 
Thank you for a well designed product.  I hope you do well in the marketplace."

Linda Dawson, Certified Quilt Instructor - Alberta, Canada:

"Guidelines is a fantastic ruler, and I am looking forward to promoting it in Canada. I have been making samples for upcoming classes and have been using the Guidelines ruler. Not having to re-adjust every time makes Guidelines easy on 'Boomer'-aged eye.

Your web site is well done, informative and easy to navigate. I will be happy to promote this amazing tool."

 

Irene - United Kingdom

"...Many thanks for the 6"x12" ruler and guide... I am delighted with it. This ruler is a perfect size and the guide for the material is a very good idea. Best wishes,"

Maria Hrabovsky / Maria Michaels Designs - Ontario, Canada:

"The more I use your ruler the more I love it. There's no way I'd want to be without it now and I still look forward to the day you make it in other sizes as well.

Yesterday I had to cut out a lot of HSTs for a baby quilt commission and the quickness, ease of use, and accuracy of the Guidelines ruler is sheer pleasure, besides which I had them all cut out and ready to sew in a fraction of the time I would spend with any other ruler!"
