manufactures rulers that are accurate, versatile and easy to read (pink &
green measurement lines.) -

one brand of ruler for all your cutting needs. Each ruler is labeled with its
size or the name of the specific job it does. -
The 22.5° Wedge
ruler is designed for Dresden Plate, Grandmother's Fan and Tumbler Blocks. For
Dresden Plate and Grandmother's Fan, your circle will finish approximately double
the, strip size + 2". If your strip is 3", your circle will finish 8". -
Since this is a 22.5° wedge, you will need 16 pieces to make a complete
circle. On this ruler, the solid lines are cutting lines, the dashed lines
are stitching lines. - For Dresden Plates and Grandmother's
Fan, determine your strip size using the chart .
- For Tumbler Blocks,
determine how large your tumbler will be and add 1/2" for seam allowance.
- Cut out appropriate sized strips with one of your Nifty Notions® strip cutting
rulers.
- The first cut you must make is to create the correct
angle, so there is a small amount of wasted fabric.
To
use: - Find the Nifty Notions logo on the ruler.
- Lay
the ruler on your strip so you can read the words Nifty Notions.
- Line
the Center Cutting Line up with the edge of your strip (diagram I), leaving the
excess fabric to the correct side (to your right if you are right handed and to
the left if you are left handed).
- Line the smallest end of the ruler
with the bottom edge of your fabric.
- Make your first cut and discard
this piece.
- Turn the ruler 180° so the words Nifty Notions are upside
down (diagram 2).
- Line up the cut edge with the angled edge of the ruler.
- Line up the smallest end of the ruler with the top edge of the fabric
and make your second cut.
- Turn the ruler back to the original position
and continue, cutting as many pieces as you need.
- For faster cutting
or for mirror pieces, fold strip in half and cut two pieces each time.
