Fons & Porter R7890 60 Degree Diamonds Ruler

Very nice thickness Sturdy and perfect to cut accurate hexagons.

The Fons and Porter Pyramid Ruler has worked great for multiple quilt patterns I have followed. It is made of very sturdy acrylic. The top of the triangle is a flat edge instead of a tip, which at first concerned me, but it is intentional, not a broken template. The flat portion allows you to align your triangles when piecing and also maximizes the amount of triangles you can get from your fabric. The quarter inch lines on either side of the center dividing line on the template allow you to cut half triangles that include seam allowances. The acrylic holds up well to run-ins with rotary cutters. After working for hours, I was getting a little sloppy with my cuts and continually ran the blade into the base of the ruler instead of along side of it. The ruler had no marks or scratches resulting. This shape is very easy to work with as a beginner quilter and can be used to made hexagons and diamonds out of multiple triangles. My favorite way to use scraps has become sewing them into strips and using the pyramid template to cut striped triangles from the sewn strips. You can use little tiny scraps at the top of your sewn strips as they will constitute the tip of the triangle. Great way to use scraps of varying sizes. Having this template was a lot easier than using my long rectangular ruler to cut triangles all at the same degree angle. I highly recommend this as a fun, inexpensive, efficient tool to add to your quilting arsenal or to give as a gift to a quilter.

I need 80 quilt blocks for a project I’m working on.Was not looking forward to trimming that many blocks. Then I found this ruler, that had 3 sides out of four I could trim without turning the item to be trimmed! The last side will be easy to trim. This makes this job easier for me! Great product👍👍

I like the markings on the ruler. It should help me to get the perfect measurements needed. I take time to measure throughout the whole process so I can achieve desired results. Order arrived quickly. Thanks.

I wish that I could have found this size in a 2-piece set. I really wanted to like this one, but it just feels clumsy in comparison to the sets with two pieces for inner and outer markings. This was the only one I could find at the time in this size.

For quite some time I have struggled to make nice, straight flying geese blocks. I tried numerous methods - four from a square, stitch and flip, half square triangles, etc. but honestly either I felt like I was wasting fabric (stitch and flip) or the outcome was not desirable (i.e. four from a square). The result was that I stayed away from flying geese since I like to precision piece and bias stretched units are just not the perfect starting point to begin with. I have had a flying geese quilt kit sitting at home but did not touch it until I came across this ruler. For the longest time I did not want to buy it because I felt it just wasn't worth $11 for a ruler that I can only make flying geese with. Well, let's just say the ruler is worth its money. I just finished the construction of 126 4"x8" flying geese and this ruler saved my piecing precision. For one, cutting the pieces from strips is a huge time saver and it gives you both sides of the side triangles in one step. Then, the ruler is really easy to use: locate the geese size you want to make, look at the number to the left or right and cut your strips this width. It has shaded tips, which means you will cut your pieces without the triangle tip, which again makes the precision so much easier because you know exactly where to line up your side triangles with the tip of the main unit and they turn out perfectly every.single.time.As hesitant as I was to spend the money on this ruler, I am 100% behind it now. Now I only have to see if they make one for units larger than 4"x8"...

Traditionally, I have pieced tops with equilateral triangles using the markets on my big Omnigrid ruler. However, I've been working on a table-topper that has nothing but these triangles. It was a pain this quilter's rear end to have to use my big ruler on lots of relatively small triangles. So, I broke down and got this ruler. When it arrived, I was a bit confused since the tool is labeled as a "PYRAMID RULER" -- duh, I finally realized that yes, pyramids are actually 60-degree triangles!If you're cutting the shape from yardage, simply put the line that corresponds with how high you want your triangle on the bottom of your yardage & cut around the template with your rotary tool. If you want a half pyramid, place the ruler on a right angle of yardage, lining up both the "high high" line on the bottom & the center line on the edge, then cut around. This works best if you are using a rotating cutting mat.Some other commenters have noted that it's a bit slippery. Even though this is an Omnigrid ruler...it's not an Omni-GRIP one...so it is a bit slidy on some fabric. Overall, though, I'm very pleased with this ruler.

The only thing I would change is potentially having additional lines to use a pointed end for easy measuring, instead of only the blunted end. It's an easy workaround, and otherwise is a great, reliable ruler for your one block wonders!

This is a helpful ruler

Esta regla es una excelente herramienta para patchwork. Ahorras mucho tiempo y mu fácil de usar.

These triangle trimmers are so easy to use and take the effort out of making accurate turning for craft work. I use them for my quilting , machine embroidery and even sewing by hand.

No revise que la graduación es en pulgadas, pero ese fue mi error. Aún así el producto tiene buena calidad y es muy practico
