Bloc Loc Half Square Triangle Multiple-Sized 6-1/2" Quilting Ruler with Grid Lines

Easier for squaring up blocks than a regular ruler.

This is an amazing tool if you want your half square triangles to trim up perfectly. The center grove fits into the seam line of your block, by sliding along the seam to align the corners you are able to make beautiful squares in a breeze. When making a large number of blocks, I recommend that you cut all of the squares on one side first, then turn your pile of squares around and trim the opposite side.

I'm working on the Ribbon Runs Thru It BOM kit, and there are a gajillion half and quarter square triangles in it. I have NEVER been fully successful with HST and QST before - that is, until I invested in one of the best rulers EVER! Yes, I could trim my HST and QST triangles with any ol' square ruler, but the ruler always slips just a bit, and those pesky corners are just 1/16" or 1/32" off. My anal-retentive nature just wouldn't accept anything less than spot on, so the Half Square ruler to the rescue! My blocks all trimmed perfectly, they nested perfectly, and they sewed perfectly. I was also able to use the 1/2" markings to trim my QST - BO-NUS! Buy it - you'll be glad you did!

This is just what it seams. The groove aligns perfectly on the seam so you are able to cut the seam allowance down to exactly 1/4 of an inch quickly, easily, and accurately. Not cheep, but worth it if you are a quilter.

I am not a gadget person. But, this ruler isn't a gadget. It is an essential for any quilter who does half square triangles. There is a learning curve, but the results are worth it.

I love how easy this is to trim accurately squared half square triangles with this ruler. It’s a real game changer when getting perfect points in your sewing.
