Want to create the illusion of curves without having to piece them? Why not try the Straight Out of Line ruler from Creative Grids®.
This ruler, designed by Karla Alexander, creates unique four-patch blocks with the illusion of curves. Ruler markings make it possible to cut squares from 4" – 10" squares – and every half-inch in between. The finished size of the pieced block is approximately 3/4" less than the cut block. Their exclusive embedded gripper strips hold the fabric while cutting when pressure is applied.
Watch the video to learn more about the Straight Out of Line Ruler or, click here to go to Creative Grids®.
You can learn more about Karla Alexander in Episode 603: Do the "block shuffle."
