I bought this ruler to use to make Drunkard's Path squares. I'm not a fan of single-purpose tools, I really didn't want to buy a drunkard's path pattern that only works for a certain block size, and using paper patterns to cut curves was trickier than I wanted to get with my first foray into sewing of nested curves. When I looked at this line, the buyer asked if it would fit drunk street blocks and the seller said no. I figured why not? It has the right curves, they are in half inch diameter increments, that might work well. And it worked. My review unit came out perfect as you can see in the photo. I used a 28mm disc cutter and was able to cut through several layers. Make sure the blade is sharp, push hard, be patient and don't force the cut. I found that when I held the cutter more vertically in my fist like a pencil rather than a knife, it moved more smoothly along the groove, I had more control, and was able to stay close to the edge of the stencil without skipping or snapping jump his. to catch. To use this ruler to cut out portions of the drunk's path, first determine what the radius of the quadrant (the length along the side of the block) needs to be. Double this value and find this value on the ruler (the values on the ruler are the finished measurements of the circles in diameter, so your seam allowance is included). To make the room square, use the next larger size. To cut, align the thicker black line marked with the fabric fold with the bottom edge of the fabric. I found it easiest to cut out squares slightly larger than my quarter circle, line them up with the carpet grid, and then line up the ruler with the fabric and carpet. This only really works if your grid is still square. You can either cut out a quarter circle like I did or you can cut out a half circle and then cut it into a quarter circle. Be sure to hold the cutter firmly against the inside of the groove as you cut into the groove. To cut out the outside of the block, use the groove inside the one you used to cut out the quarter circle. For example, if you used an 8" groove to cut the inside quarter of a circle, you would use a 7" groove to cut a corner from the outside of the block. Follow the same cutting process as before, making sure to hold the cutter firmly against the inside of the groove.
