#FREE RULER ACCUQUILT HOW TO#

Wow! This flange binding LOOKS hard, but really its not! I really like this video from MSQC where Jenny explains it very well. This rotating mat allows you to rotate your cutting project without moving your cutting project (or catch yourself rotary cutting upside down and backward!). Here’s a link to purchase the BasiX Ruler and the great lazy susan cutting mat I like so much.

#FREE RULER ACCUQUILT HOW TO#

Here is a great video tutorial that explains how to use the BasiX ruler really well. Sew 3 strips together just a few inches and measure across after pressing. And that scant seam depends on: thickness of fabric, thickness of thread, how well you press flat.

Tip: You really need make sure you’ve got a good handle on that scant quarter inch seam here. Otherwise, cut your strips with the Accuquilt strip die (or this die) or your rotary cutter. If you have a jelly roll you’re hankering to use, this is a good time. We start this process with three 2.5” strips. I like these ruler grips to use on the back of the ruler to keep it from slipping on the fabric. Tip: When you take the ruler out of the package, you’ll notice it’s smooth on both sides. Its really a great value because usually one quilt pattern is $8-$10, but we get 2 patterns AND the ruler for only $15. The BasiX ruler comes in a package with TWO free patterns, and those are the two patterns I used to make my quilt and tablerunner. The design of this quilt and tablerunner start with the same ruler (BasiX), and then I added a few other techniques to each project that I’d like to tell you about.
