Quilt In A Day Small Flying Geese Ruler - Precision Quilting Tool for Patchwork & DIY Sewing Projects | Perfect for Beginners & Expert Quilters

Good quality, easy to read and accurateI liked that it totally saved my quilt square because I couldn't figure out a way to trim it without this ruler. Made it so easy.I got this after my mom told me how awful sewing the flying geese blocks were. I saw a video on this product and thought I would try for my quilt guild BOTM. I'm happy with the product. You line it up against your seams to check accuracy and to trim. Now, if I could just consistently sew a straight line!Thank God for directions! Although I saw Eleanor use this on her TV show, I wouldn't have remembered how to do it except for the enclosed directions. I grabbed some extra fabric and made some smaller flying geese and the larger flying geese that this unit was designed for.It did what it was advertised to do, and made lovely flying geese. Here's the problem I ran into, though: because the units had to be trimmed down to size after all the sewing was done, you have to hold the ruler on top of the unit. That doesn't sound so bad until you realize that there is a bump in the fabric where the triangles intersect each other at their point. So, when you hold the ruler over the top of the unit, that bump holds the rest of the ruler in the air. Thus, it is really easy for the ruler to slip off the unit and get an inaccurate cut. Also, unless you cut all four sides at once, holding the ruler very firmly, you don't get an accurate cut.But, it's almost impossible to cut all four sides without moving the ruler. The directions tell you to use a small cutting mat and twirl the mat around to get all four sides. That was very awkward, and again, I had trouble with the ruler staying in place.So, I doubt that I'll use this ruler again, although I might as the concept is good, but the actual use doesn't quite ah, measure, up (forgive the pun).Quilt in a day dose it again. Its a great tool to make flying geese. Its easy to use to make wonderful flying geese. Elanor Burns "Quilt in a Day" products are always worth it.
