Helpful tips for using your Square Rulers
● Square quilt blocks and fussy-cut fabrics quickly and easily using just your rotary
cutter. No need to mark or trace.
● 1/4" seam allowance markings on all four sides of ruler; no flipping or turning of ruler.
● Pin-hole in center of ruler to anchor quilt square or layered fabrics.
● 45° markings for perfect centering.
● Unique three-color printing: Black = 1" and 1/2", Teal = 1/4" and Magenta = 1/8".

To square quilt block or fussy-cut fabric the same size as square ruler:
● Align and square center of ruler with center of quilt block or center of fabric. Trim excess fabric from four sides. (Image 1)
