How to Use the EZ Quilting Squares Presented by Jennie Rayment
Template and Ruler Demonstration Series with Jennie Rayment • Educational, G, 01-Jun-2016
Squares are the bedrock of simple patchwork and if you cut accurately then the sewing just fits together perfectly and link in with triangles from the Easy Angle range – so even if you are used to working in metric providing you use these tools, you just need to follow the numbers.
The rulers also have a diagonal which allows you to square up your blocks brilliantly – also something that today’s patchwork uses a lot.
Jennie demonstrates how to use the square template with your rotary cutter keeping yourself safe, and this works whether you are left handed or right handed.
The Squares available are:
4.5 inch
6.5 inch
9.5 inch
12.5 inch
They are all Leftie-Rightie squares – which means everyone can use them. You can find some of them in our website!
Then there is also the mini-template at 2.5 inch which is perfect for using jelly roll strips which are of course 2.5 inch wide.
