Yesterday four of us got together to quilt. Well, actually, we talked, had
show & tell, ate lunch, and quilted! During our conversation, someone asked
why quilting rulers have arcs on them. Does anyone know? We understand how
you use the different angles which are marked, but what do you do with the
arc?
Inquiring minds want to know!! Thanks,

Ummm, Alice? I looked at all my quilt rulers and not one of them has an arc
on them. What kind of rulers are you all using? Maybe a draftsman's ruler?

It's in the bottom row on the left. (Great ruler, by the way! It doesn't
slip!)

Dresden Plate? Quadrant fans? Drunkard's Path? (though it would be a
little large for that probably.
.
The pattern would have to be traced from the ruler, rather than cutting
round it, but it has the wedges marked and everything.

Well, I'll be darned... so it is! You know, I could see it being very handy
if the ruler was CUT on that curved line, but I'm not sure how you'd use the
curve otherwise. I like all the angles marked like that. I get dizzi(er)
trying to figure out anything other than the 45 degree angle on most rulers
with lines going every witcha way.
