The Phillips Fiber Art Spot On Ruler
Specs
- Small, angular, acrylic ruler
- Designed for hexies and triangles
- Cost: $11.00
Pros
- Oh the shapes you can (accurately) make! I did not have to pin my project except at the required intersections where I needed to match points. It all just FIT
Pardon my mess. Look at the quilt. Ooh. Ahh.
- Very clear markings and easy to use
- Comes with a free pattern with the ruler, but there are several different patterns to choose from
- Patterns are very well done, and great for visual learners. The graphics are clear, and I used those more than the written words
Cons
- I don't have the hugest hands in the world, but this is small enough that it was tricky to hold effectively and not have fingers in harm's way.
- The ruler is VERY slippy. You definitely will want some kind of ruler grips on this thing to help with that. A slip while cutting WILL matter here.
- ...Pretty much only super useful for the patterns designed for it. I don't know that I would use it for anything else.
Conclusion
★★★☆☆
This was a fun little tool to use and the projects are quick. At $11 for a ruler, the price point isn't bad at all. My only gripe is that unless you're using the patterns its designed for, it's not good for much else. It really is a unitasker. But if you need a quick gift to whip up, or want to give a gift, these rulers are great.
