Product Information

By the time I’ve pieced and quilted a project, I’m keen to get it bound and finished as quickly as possible. Using a triangle ruler requires precision and care, and it is easy to make mistakes if you need to become more familiar with the tool.

From getting your angles on point to confidently cutting the units of your quilt blocks to the right size, acrylic rulers for quilting are a real game changer.

The three sides of this dimensional three-sided ruler all offer precision-designed flat surfaces that can align perfectly with the paper, wood or composite material on which you are drawing a design. You can make accurate measurement marks on surfaces to be cut easily since these flat, thin rules and measuring scales are close to the surface you are marking. To measure an angle with a triangle ruler, place the ruler so that one of its sides is aligned with one of the sides of the angle you want to measure and read the measurement from the corresponding side of the ruler. Modern rulers are available in all the colors and shades of the rainbow and in a wide array of materials, including wood, plastic, rubber, aluminum, stainless steel and others.

One everyday use of a triangle ruler is for drawing perpendicular lines, which are essential in many technical drawings. After these measurements are made, the sections fold back together just as easily to form a neat tool for easy storage. Use a compass to draw an arc from each endpoint of the line, measuring the length of the other two sides.Variants in larger sizes, with fixed or detachable handles, with or without bevelled edges (facets), and with or without ink nodules or embossed labels exist as well.
