Bloc Loc Half Square Triangle Multiple-Sized 6-1/2 Quilting Ruler with Grid Lines

Original

Id been debating if this would be worth the money but having seen it used multiple times on the quilting videos I decided to give it a try. Im so glad I did!

Makes my HST’s oerfect

I like that I can use this size for even smaller HST. Its a bit pricey, though.

I have several sizes of bloc loc rulers and love them. I bought this one for 5” blocks but it didn’t work like the others. I recommend looking at Utube video for this 61/2” ruler. It is used a little differently than others

Started using this ruler/squaring tool and it definitely is a game changer. Was very pricey for a piece of plastic, but having the right tool really helped. Now all my HSTs are square and not wonky. A must buy if you want to get better with your quilting.

This half square triangle ruler is perfect to trim those half square triangles, allowing for that seam bump that can throw off your trimming!

Im working on the Ribbon Runs Thru It BOM kit, and there are a gajillion half and quarter square triangles in it. I have NEVER been fully successful with HST and QST before - that is, until I invested in one of the best rulers EVER! Yes, I could trim my HST and QST triangles with any ol square ruler, but the ruler always slips just a bit, and those pesky corners are just 1/16 or 1/32 off. My anal-retentive nature just wouldnt accept anything less than spot on, so the Half Square ruler to the rescue! My blocks all trimmed perfectly, they nested perfectly, and they sewed perfectly. I was also able to use the 1/2 markings to trim my QST - BO-NUS! Buy it - youll be glad you did!

Until another quilter told me about this I didn’t know it existed. Now I can’t live without it!!!

easiest way to make half square triangles.
