Quarter Inch Patchwork Ruler Set - The Quilt Rulers for Marking ¼” and ½”

This amazing set of two Quarter Inch Patchwork Rulers, “QIPS”, is great for marking ¼” sewing lines on your patchwork pieces or for ¼” and ½” markings on your quilts. Use these 9” or 17” long x ½” wide quilt rulers when you are making half-square triangles, hourglass, combination, flying geese, little houses, or snowball units for piecing.

You can also use them for marking and checking ¼” and ½” seam allowances on your sewing projects. Plus, they make a simple, handy ruler for crafting and other creative needs.

Best yet, unlike some rulers on the market, these Madam Sew “exclusively designed” quilt rulers have:

• An unobscured line down the middle
• A non-slip coating on the bottom
• Matte technology for great visibility on any fabric
• Hole for hanging

Specifications

Each set contains two, light-weight, 3mm thick acrylic rulers…

• 9” Ruler is small enough to carry with you in your project bag or to have available on your quilting table, but large enough to mark 1” - 6 ½” squares on the diagonal. Great to use on 2 ½” & 5” pre-cut squares (mini charm & regular charm packs).
• 17” Ruler is Large enough to mark up to a 12” square on the diagonal, so it's great for larger projects. 12” squares being the most popular per the internet for large size quilts. Great to use on pre-cut squares of the same size or the popular 10” pre-cut squares (layer cake fabric).
• The rulers are ½” wide with a non-obscured line down the middle that is ¼” from each side edge and they have ¼”, ½” and 1” measurements along each side with the numbers going both ways so you don’t have to turn your ruler around when using it.
• Each ruler has a non-slip coating that grips the fabric so the ruler doesn’t easily slip while you are marking or measuring.
• The innovative matte technology used on the rulers allows you to see clearly on any color fabric.
• For your convenience, each ruler has a hole on one end which allows you to hang them for storage or put a ribbon or other marker through them so they are easy to locate in a project bag/box.

The rulers should be used with a fine, sharp point marking pen or pencil.
