Studio 180 DesignWing Clipper Quilting Tool, Trim Down Tool for Flying Geese Units, 5.5" x 10.5" Acrylic Ruler

Excellent tool. Could not do this on my own. Also perfect flying geese

This tool helps me make accurate flying geese in many sizes. Fairly easy to use right away, and very easy to use once you have used it a few times. Comes with written instructions.

It is as advertised

Easy to use, makes trimming so much easier.

The best part of this ruler is that it is accurate and makes great flying geese, the worst part (like others have mentioned) is that it slips and slides. I did put some little gripping dots on the bottom to help keep it steady which helps keep it under control. I would rate this ruler a 5 if it did not move so much.

Great for flying geese

I had a stack of geese sewed and needed to trim them. Even though the method I used to build them was different than the suggested woth the ruler, I was able to quickly figure out how to use it for my geese. Minimal fuss flipping fabric or the ruler, no slots to try to cut in, just a solid, small, versatile , reasonably priced ruler for many size geese. I am new to making geese and I am happy with the finished pieces.

This tool worked like a dream. I toyed with buying a Bloc-Loc for trimming my flying geese, but the price was so high and requires one ruler for each size of flying geese. I decided to go with this one instead, and it works amazingly well! I have previously avoided making flying geese if possible because I hate trimming them - never quite get that 1/4" at the point just right and end up with blunted points or "dead space" between units. With this tool, my units came out perfectly. Instructions are clear, diagrams are very helpful - even shows best practices for left-handed trimming. I am working on a quilt right now that uses 36 flying geese units, and I thought this would be the best way to go. Only problem I had was that it worked so well that I ended up with twice as many units as I need. Really needed to pay closer attention to the fact that with this tool you end up with 4 units, not 2. That's what I get for starting this late at night and not reading all the directions thoroughly! So, now I have a head start on my next quilt, and no more avoiding flying geese!
