This is the first video I've seen that talks about rulers having grips. I'm very excited they exist! I will be getting one...or two this weekend. YAY!

Thanks for the info!

@trinasummer I replaced all my rulers with Creative Grid rulers, they are a little more expensive but worth every penny.

Thanks for watching!

Great tutorial, thanks! They also have cutting mats now that you can turn or swivel, makes it a lot easier to cut without having to move the fabric.

@BarbyCurtis70 I don't remember the pattern we used, but I just wanted to show how to square up a block. If I come across the pattern I'll be sure to post it.

Thanks for watching!

What is that pattern called? I haven't seen any vids on that, and since I am very new to this, I cannot figure out how you did it....
