Antler Quilt Design AQDR1 Simple Folded Corners Ruler

Over the course of many projects I have learned to dread sew & flip corners, especially w/ small pieces. I am an accuracy freak and I found myself "unsewing" and resewing a large percentage of these nasty little devils. After a snowman quilt that had 80-1" sew & flips, I began to avoid them. Thanks to Antler Designs Simple Fold Corner Ruler, sew & flip has become a breeze AND it is accurate. I have purchased both sizes and I take them to bees and meetings just to show them to my friends, even when I am not doing a project that requires sew & flip. Do yourself a favor, buy the Mini Simple Fold Corner Ruler, and smile A LOT when planning a sew & flip corner project. Thank you, Antler Designs.

I am not a fan of specialty rulers. But I also can't seem to get my corner square triangles, stitch and flip corners, snowballs, whatever you call them squared up to the outer edge after sewing and pressing. I am also not a fan of the waste that is created when you cut that corner off. A friend at retreat told me about this ruler and I gave it a try. You can use it to square up the blocks as written in the pattern for a perfect sew line instead of your drawn line across the center. However, the best part is that in a concept similar to no waste 4 at a time geese this ruler comes with instructions to recalculate any pattern to two usable triangles instead of one square and the extra off cut. You could also use this ruler if you need a one at a time goose block.

Great for quilting. I love it.

Yes, this is an expensive ruler for its size. But the amount of time saved is worth the price. It saves having to draw a line corner to corner, then stitch, then cut. With this ruler, you cut first and then sew an accurate 1/4" seam and you are done. I have found that the trimmed corners are so accurately cut, you can use them to sew half square triangles for another.project. I am so glad I purchased this ruler!

I was skeptical about this, but since I’m a golfer as well as a quilter, I am a sucker for gadgets. This is a fun thing to have around. It is surprisingly accurate and easy to use. I haven’t ever been able to find a marker that shows up well on dark fabrics, so I like not having to draw the diagonal line.

Easy and useful.

Squares up fabric nicely and accurately.

I bought this ruler to use while making the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt, On Ringo Lake. I was able to use it right away without even reading the instructions (although I'm certain there is much to learn in them) and it sped up my process considerably. Well worth the money and less expensive than Bonnie's rulers (which I'm sure are also great.) In general, I prefer to die cut my quilt pieces, but in situations like this one where I couldn't, good cutting tools that allow you to make blocks in a variety of sizes are essential. This ruler fits the bill! It is easy to read and use.
