6 Things You Can Do With The Folded Corner Clipper | Quilting Ruler | Creative Grids | Flying Geese 

I have that set of rulers. I had no idea I could do so much!! What a time saver!! Drawing the line is such a waste of time. I won’t be doing that any more. I always learn the most useful ideas from you. Thank you ❤

I also love this for joining binding. It’s a game changer! A very versatile tool. Thank you for a wonderful video!

Carol, you have a lovely voice and are a great teacher of these techniques. Thanks so much for all the tips.

Love this video. Great explanations on this ruler. I’ll definitely be getting one. I truly appreciate you sharing your time and expertise. Thank you ❤

Thank you. I have heard of this ruler but never realised it could do so much - will have to add it to my list of must haves 😄 Thanks to Leisa for sending it to you.

WOW I have had this ruler for a while & only used it for my binding. So happy I saw this. Thanks

I use this tool for joining my binding together, but learned a lot that I did not know! I love learning new techniques. Thanks!!!

I have this ruler, it is a must have in quilting!

My favorite ruler ❤

So clear and appreciate this video

Fabulous tool, thanks for your demo!

I've had this ruler for a few yrs now & couldn't figure out how to use it to trim half square triangles once sewn. Thank so much !!

Very good demonstration, Carol. I got this ruler earlier this year and swear by it now, especially for joining binding. I haven't tried it for any of the other applications yet, but I will. Thanks.

This is super helpful! Thank you ☺️

Thanks!🌺🌸

Turn the ruler over. It is clear persoex, so you can easily see the numbers through it. Work from the right hand side of your strips, when making half square triangles.

Thank you Carol I have both rulers never used it now I will use them especially with your patterns that need HST LIKE THE ACORN PATTERN❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊 AND THE PUMPKIN

Never seen this tool, will have to get one xx

Hi Carol, Thank you for making this video! Amazingly I have this ruler (still in the package) and have not used it! The best part for me is how to use for cutting the corner strip. I’m definitely getting this ruler out of the packaging today😊. Thanks for sharing 🙏

What a wonderful video! I have that ruler template and never knew all you can do with that item. Thank you!

I also have this tool, and only use it for binding. Thank you for teaching so many more uses!

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for these great tips!

Great info.

I have one but have only used it for my bias tape. ThNks for the great tips!!

👍❤️😊

I love this ruler too. I rarely draw lines now so much faster

Great addition to the original use of what could have been a specialty ruler. I use it so often for my bindings and borders, as well as the HST. But wait! My favorite use is for QST pieces. When you pre cut the strip into wedges, you save sooo much fabric that you might end up making a twin size quilt top from the fabric required for a throw. Really. I hope you will try the wedges and perhaps add this technique to your ruler use. I cut all the 2.5" snowball or flip and stitch wedges for no waste corners. The square, well it still needs to start as a square, however cutting off the corners first allows us to use our favorite 1/4" foot. Your welcome.

I wished I had seen this video 2 days ago so useful and educative video! I would add please show how to position the va binding strip for cutting . Thank you .

Great demo Carol, and I'm glad you are enjoying the ruler. I also hope that you have converted some folks. I consider pre mitered cuts on binding best practice. This tool is small so that the final join is also effortlessly done. I have a few more tips to share (a/k/a notes from my personal sweat shop). Of course any ruler will allow you to do all of these things, but none have a better size or line of sight/markings than this one for smaller projects. Yes, there is a bigger one, I don't have it. I do have Antler Designs, Simple Folded Corner Ruler (large) That is another great ruler. But it does not have the alacrity of this one. However that ruler has 1/4" marking perpendicular to the diagonal that make many quilting tasks easier. *Binding*: I truly believe that pre mitering is best practice as it is truer/straighter cut and alignment than the 90 degree method (4 points of alignment v. the "am I at right angle?" alignment). No need for separate ruler to square end. Rotate tool. (I glue baste, so I glue the perpendicular long side and match the ends and set glue. That way I can press my seam open. If not pressing open, glue basting the ends keeps things straight under the needle.) *Save fabric*: Cut your replacement corners from a strip (e.g. 2.5") and avoid the leftover waste. Just discard the waste from the original corner you clip. (see my time saving tip below). *Precut Triangles for FPP applications from a strip*: I calculate a slightly (v. grossly ) oversized triangle when needed for FPP applications (I like 3.5" FPP economy blocks). I precut these pieces. Cutting from a strip using this ruler v. a square allows you to work with a small strip width than the prescribed square which may help you use your stash scraps more efficiently. (I also use the tip below) *Save time*: (always make a test cut first). This calculation method works for Triangle in Square Rectangles (side pieces), Split Rectangles, HST's and Diamond Rectangle sides (I have Deb Tucker's rulers, so I use this method to cut the side pieces). (this is absolutely my best tip ever for those that love these blocks and want to produce them efficiently and accurately: Cut *rectangles* first using your normal strip height and a width of strip calculated as height + .75" [(3/8 + 3/8) . 3/8 is the measure of the flat top of tool (to include specialty rulers mentioned above); . Use the ruler to cut the rectangle 1 x to have two perfect mates. Saves rotation and ruler realignment as well as awkward cutting angles. Save more time by stacking fabric. Example: If you need 2.5" HST, you would cut a rectangles 2.5 x 3.25 (2.5 + .75). Align to one side and cut once. Sounds like a so what...but cut your rectangle from 3.25" WOF using a regular ruler, and then subcut with your Stripology ruler @ 2.5". There is no faster way (maybe Accuquilt, but I would propose a dual to test it). Even without a Stripology, you save rotation and ruler replacement on an angle. When you are cutting hundreds of units, there is no faster way to chew through the cutting with no loss in accuracy. Can you tell I love this tool?

Sew with the whole square and you'll have stable pieces. Cut first and have bias edges that are harder to control. Then cut. Better yet, sew both diagonal lines and have two stable triangles per corner.

I bought this when it first came out for joining binding strips. (Game changer)! I forgot about the other uses and I had no idea it is available in a larger size Glad I watched this. My only complaint about the tool is it was clearly made for right-handed people. As a leftie, I have to flip it over and it took a while to get used to it.

I must try this! I really do despise drawing lines corner to corner and then have to hope it’s accurate. Thank you 😊

It was an informative video on the product, and if you don't care about the waste scraps its definitely a time saver...however I was hoping it would reduce the waste and help make larger triangles for snowballing that wouldn't waste half... I probably will skip this product. . .but I love learning about notions and appreciate the time you took and the careful way you explained everything. Will subscribe to see more:)

Thank you so much for the tips! I love this ruler and needed more I could do with it ❤

You can use the folded corner ruler to trim your ends, just use the corner of the ruler and line it up with the corner of the edge of fabric. Use only one ruler!❤

Does it matter which wing of the flying geese you sew first? Enjoyed your video.

Thank you! I have this tool but…the instructions are very confusing so I’ve never used it.

On the chisel unit it appears to be a 5 1/2" rectangle unit. Are those 1" markings on your mat?

It's very useful, a pity they don't make it for left-handers...yet!

Why not just use it to cut the triangles from a 2.5 inch strip and avoid the wasted fabric all together? Seems to me the ruler would pay for itself that way.

I found the ruler hard to use as a left handed person
