How to Combine Rulers for Wider Cuts
| May 21, 2018 | Quilting How-To
A Great Tip for Your Quilter’s Toolbox!
There are two ruler sizes that quilters reach for most often: 12 1/2″ square and 6″ or 6 1/2″ x 24″. While additional rulers are handy, you can do most of your standard cutting with either of those two sizes.
But what if you need to cut wide strips that neither ruler accommodates? Simply combine the two rulers to make the width you need.
By doing so you can cut strips up to 19″ wide. While that sounds tricky, it’s really quite easy to do, and without sacrificing accuracy.
