My Secret to Success when Sewing Triangles



My secret to success when sewing triangles can be yours too. Using a quality ruler will make a world of difference to create triangle and hexagon quilt blocks. My favorite triangle ruler is made by Creative Grids and is the 60° equilateral triangle ruler designed by Rachel Cross. I like this ruler for several reasons. First is the non skid grip that allows me to slid it easily around my fabric strips. Then when it’s in place, with a little bit of pressure, the grip holds the ruler in place to cut correctly. It’s made with a high quality acrylic that has lasted through many quilts. The black markings are easily read. I have used it to make my Twirly Hexagon quilts and my Honeycomb Hexagon quilts. 

This ruler can be purchased Here. You will love it and be your choice when cutting triangles!
