Dritz Fons & Porter R7761 Square Up Ruler, 6 x 6-Inch

The Fons and Porter Pyramid Ruler has worked great for multiple quilt patterns I have followed. It is made of very sturdy acrylic. The top of the triangle is a flat edge instead of a tip, which at first concerned me, but it is intentional, not a broken template. The flat portion allows you to align your triangles when piecing and also maximizes the amount of triangles you can get from your fabric. The quarter inch lines on either side of the center dividing line on the template allow you to cut half triangles that include seam allowances. The acrylic holds up well to run-ins with rotary cutters. After working for hours, I was getting a little sloppy with my cuts and continually ran the blade into the base of the ruler instead of along side of it. The ruler had no marks or scratches resulting. This shape is very easy to work with as a beginner quilter and can be used to made hexagons and diamonds out of multiple triangles. My favorite way to use scraps has become sewing them into strips and using the pyramid template to cut striped triangles from the sewn strips. You can use little tiny scraps at the top of your sewn strips as they will constitute the tip of the triangle. Great way to use scraps of varying sizes. Having this template was a lot easier than using my long rectangular ruler to cut triangles all at the same degree angle. I highly recommend this as a fun, inexpensive, efficient tool to add to your quilting arsenal or to give as a gift to a quilter.

Highly recommend. Very easy to use, makes cutting precise & fast.

Helpful to make these squares in quilting. Many sizes offered with ruler. Heavy weight ruler. Easy to read lines for cutting with rotary cutter.

Very nice thickness Sturdy and perfect to cut accurate hexagons.

Just what I need , price was great also.

As described and is easy to read.

For quite some time I have struggled to make nice, straight flying geese blocks. I tried numerous methods - four from a square, stitch and flip, half square triangles, etc. but honestly either I felt like I was wasting fabric (stitch and flip) or the outcome was not desirable (i.e. four from a square). The result was that I stayed away from flying geese since I like to precision piece and bias stretched units are just not the perfect starting point to begin with. I have had a flying geese quilt kit sitting at home but did not touch it until I came across this ruler. For the longest time I did not want to buy it because I felt it just wasn't worth $11 for a ruler that I can only make flying geese with. Well, let's just say the ruler is worth its money. I just finished the construction of 126 4"x8" flying geese and this ruler saved my piecing precision. For one, cutting the pieces from strips is a huge time saver and it gives you both sides of the side triangles in one step. Then, the ruler is really easy to use: locate the geese size you want to make, look at the number to the left or right and cut your strips this width. It has shaded tips, which means you will cut your pieces without the triangle tip, which again makes the precision so much easier because you know exactly where to line up your side triangles with the tip of the main unit and they turn out perfectly every.single.time.As hesitant as I was to spend the money on this ruler, I am 100% behind it now. Now I only have to see if they make one for units larger than 4"x8"...

I need 80 quilt blocks for a project I’m working on.Was not looking forward to trimming that many blocks. Then I found this ruler, that had 3 sides out of four I could trim without turning the item to be trimmed! The last side will be easy to trim. This makes this job easier for me! Great product👍👍

I have used this tool often when cutting/squaring quilt blocks. I find it very useful. Saved me from buying 2 separate tools to do the same job that this one does on its own. Very clear markings and clear instructions which makes it easy to used. I also found an online video with a demonstration on the ruler.

Pas encore utilisée mais vu dans des vidéos youtube et utilisé par des personnes s'adonnant au patchwork.

Esta regla es una excelente herramienta para patchwork. Ahorras mucho tiempo y mu fácil de usar.

I already have a number of rulers and templates and could have used them for my project, but decided to buy this as a one off. So glad I did! The markings made it easy to line up so I could make quick accurate cuts, time after time. Very pleased and a good investment

No revise que la graduación es en pulgadas, pero ese fue mi error. Aún así el producto tiene buena calidad y es muy practico
