Quilting Tool Review: RuleSteady

Sunday January 28, 2007
Don't you just hate it when your rotary ruler slips near the end of a cut? That can happen if you don't keep pressure along the length of the ruler as the rotary cutter slides along its side. The result--wasted fabric--wasted expensive fabric. There are non-slip dots available, little clear or sandpaper patches with adhesive backings that stick to the underneath side of your rotary rulers. They work pretty well, but they're not a perfect solution. Here's an alternative, the RuleSteady, a device that sits on your ruler and cutting mat while you make a cut. Grab the RuleSteady handle and the ruler isn't going anywhere! It makes me more confident about my cuts, especially for Noodles Swaps, where you want your strips to be absolutely accurate.
