Amazing Tool: Quilting

How have I lived for over 60 years without this handy tool? I struggled with sticking paper backing for years, I hated it. This ruler is like a magic wand, it's easy to use, and suddenly FPP clicked in my brain and a light came on. can you say i love it Buy it, it will make your life easier and drive away the fog of foundation paper piecing.

Pros
  • Beautiful Packaging
Cons
  • old

If you need a beveled edge for stapling paper, get the AAQ Plus.

I bought this to replace my frequently used Add-A-Quarter PLUS without knowing the difference between Add-A-Quarter ("AAQ") and Add-A-Quarter PLUS too recognize. The Plus has a beveled edge to make it easier to roll up the base paper when gluing the paper, as well as a quarter addition feature. This ruler has a quarter function, which is still very useful for quilting, but it doesn't have a tapered edge. It is durable and easy to use. For paper gluing, however, I would heartily recommend the…

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • Quality

Much more comfortable than I expected!

Just started gluing paper and went to class to do it where this ruler was needed. I didn't think it would be helpful, but I was wrong! So comfortable! You use it to quickly cut fabric to a pattern and leave a reasonable seam allowance. My only complaint is that the ruler isn't very wide, so you have to be very careful not to get your fingers in the path of the rotating knife. I've used it at home many, many times and I highly recommend it!

Pros
  • Marking in 1/8" increments
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

This is so great for my paper quilting

This is so great for my paper quilting. This way, excess fabric can be easily trimmed off and I always get exactly the seam allowances I need! If you do paper binding, I highly recommend buying this line! The attached photo shows a quilt block made with this ruler. It's not the hardest block, but the yellow fabric is thin enough that you can see the extra fabric behind the block and you can see how nice, straight, and even it is. And all because of this ruler!

Pros
  • Can be cut into multiple layers
Cons
  • disappears

Great tool for basting paper with a 1/4 inch seam allowance.

I started quilting a few months ago and am slowly learning different techniques for making quilt blocks . One of these techniques is paper sewing. I was recommended this ruler to make sure you leave a 1/4 inch seam allowance when gluing paper. That works great. It seems like an unnecessary tool when you can use a regular ruler to make sure you have seam allowances, but it saves a lot of time as it has a little ridge on the edge of the ruler where the 1/4 inch line runs. - just lay it on the…

Pros
  • The Add-A-Quarter Ruler automatically adds a seam to each right angle and provides a straight edge for your disc cutter
Cons
  • Requires a rosette
