Westalee Design Patchwork Rulers are essential tools for cutting your fabric, not templates for quilting designs. We delayed adding the patchwork sets to the website, but after receiving and trying these, our staff at Stitch in the Ditch are loving using these, finding them exceptionally accurate. We love the starter set; it really gives the perfect selection for us to try out these templates that are adjustable and so great to use.
Westalee Adjustable Quilting Rulers will enable you to cut 90% of traditional quilt blocks with accuracy every time. The last cut will be the same as the first cut, every time! Simply set the desired strip width, lock the guide, and cut. No more maths, it also works like a calculator to take some of the hard sums out of the equation. No more "measure twice, cut once" rule, now you can "measure once, cut a thousand times".
Enables cutting of strips, squares, rectangles, diamonds, bias strips, sashing, and borders, quickly and with accuracy. Westalee offers a range of straight and triangle rulers in a range of sizes. Made of clear Perspex, the adjustable rulers also offer "fussy cutting". A black, locking fabric guide is attached to each ruler with two easily adjustable screws enabling the quilter to quickly and easily set the desired size of the shape. A pair of Thumb Screws are available to assist those quilters who prefer not to use a screwdriver.
The adjustable triangle range enables accurate cutting of setting triangles for diagonal set quilts, half-square triangles, and quarter-square triangles for blocks. Rulers are marked with guidelines at 1/4" increments, allowing easy measurement of the final block or strip size including the seam allowance.
All rulers have been designed to give the finished size of the shape, and all seam allowances are included. While not every quilter needs the whole range, a "Starter's Kit" with the three most basic tools - the 18" Adjustable Ruler, the Half Square Triangle, and the Quarter Square Triangle - is suggested for everyday quilting, especially for beginners.
