Re: Another ruler question
I have never used one... I have had a plexi type square rod thing that was 1/4 inches wide by 1/4 inches high... it was too skinny for me to hold onto while trying to use it.
I use a 12 inch long 1 inch wide ruler... I got it at Joanns and use the 1/4 inch line on it all the time.. it is my favorite and most used ruler..and it fits my fingers much better than anything skinnier.
when I make half square triangles I use it to mark the squares for my sewing guide line... it's perfect...
hope that helps.

Re: Another ruler question
In using these you have to be careful that you are not adding more than the quarter inch - running your pencil along side the ruler will add thickness - depending on how you place the pencil against it and the thickness of the line you draw - just beware -

Found 1/4 works OK, but glued some sandpaper to prevent slipping, then made it easier to draw line.
