Thank you so much for replying. That makes perfect sense. I saw your leaf =

rulers at a recent quilt show here in Augusta, Maine. Didn't have the =

money then, but they are on my Holiday Wish List. Squaring up a quilt =

sounds great. Thanks again.

Use a cardboard mat, found in sewing stores, that has grid lines marked in one inch intervals. Use T Pins and place them at the intervals on the board. Place fabric on the board, keeping edges square to lines. loop the chalk line ring on the t-pin, and stretch across using the lines on the mat. Snap a straight line. Alternately, you can use your acrylic ruler and make sure your lines aren't crooked. I do this when squaring up a quilt, and I don't have a board large enough. Hope this helps!

How do you know that your line is plumb. I understand you get a straight line, but how do you know it isn't crooked?
