Diamond Cut - A Girl's Best Friend

To cut diamonds in 1/2” or 1” increments:
Cut strip of fabric to desired width of diamond. Note: Layer fabric strips to cut multiple diamonds at a time. Place Diamond Cut Ruler on width of fabric, aligning bottom line of ruler with raw edge of fabric.

Create first angle by cutting along the outside right edge of ruler. Cut in slots subsequently equal to the width of the fabric strips. (Figure 1) Lift ruler and reposition on fabric strip to continue cutting diamonds.

Example: For 2” diamonds, cut 2” strips of fabric. Align bottom edge of ruler on raw edge of fabric. Cut on outside right edge of ruler. Cut in slots marked 2”, 4” and 6”.

To cut 1/4” increment diamonds:
Cut strip of fabric to desired width of diamond. Note: Layer fabric strips to cut multiple diamonds at a time. Place Diamond Cut Ruler on width of fabric, aligning bottom line of ruler with raw edge of fabric.

Create first angle by cutting along the outside right edge of ruler. Lift ruler and place 3/4” dotted line of ruler on newly cut angled fabric edge. Cut in appropriate slot to equal width of fabric strip. Lift ruler and place 3/4” dotted line of ruler on just cut angle and again cut in appropriate slot to equal width of strip. (Figure 2)

Example: For 2-1/4” diamonds, cut 2-1/4” strips of fabric. Align bottom edge of ruler on raw edge of fabric. Cut on outside right edge of ruler. Lift ruler and place 3/4” dotted line on newly cut angled fabric edge. Cut in slot marked 3”. (3” less 3/4” of ruler position on fabric = 2-1/4”)

To cut 3/4” increment diamonds:
Cut strip of fabric to desired width of diamond. Note: Layer fabric strips to cut multiple diamonds at a time. Place Diamond Cut Ruler on width of fabric, aligning bottom line of ruler with raw edge of fabric.

Create first angle by cutting along the outside right edge of ruler. Lift ruler and place 1/4” dotted line of ruler on newly cut angled fabric edge. Cut in appropriate slot to equal width of fabric strip. Lift ruler and place 1/4” dotted line of ruler on just cut angle and again cut in appropriate slot to equal width of strip. (Figure 3)

Example: For 2-3/4” diamonds, cut 2-3/4” strips of fabric. Align bottom edge of ruler on raw edge of fabric. Cut on outside right edge of ruler. Lift ruler and place 1/4” dotted line on newly cut angled edge. Cut in slot marked 3”. (3” less 1/4” of ruler position on fabric = 2-3/4”)
