Gudrun Erla of G.E. Designs shows you how to use the Creative Grids Stripology XL Ruler to reduce time spent cutting fabric by up to 75%. This ruler is the best of both the original Stripology Ruler and the Stripology Squared Rulers, combining height and width into one. Gudrun shows you how easy it is to cut full-width yardage into strips, squares, diamonds or triangles. The updated ruler also includes markings to fussy cut and square up finished blocks up to 12.5" in size.
Creative Grids rulers slide easily over the fabric until pressure is applied. Then, the exclusive gripper holds the fabric in place while cutting, eliminating slipping and miscuts.

I bought this ruler after dealing with lymphedema in my right arm after radiation. And I love it! It allowed me to continue my quilting projects with beautiful results! I now use it as my go-to ruler for strip- cutting. It never fails to produce precise cuts. Thank you for a great product!

This has to be one of the greatest quilting rulers on het market. I have owned the XL and Square rollers for a while now and to be honest it wasn't until I made one of Gudrun's quilt patterns that I understood just how amazing these rulers are. I am sure that these will be my "go-to" rulers for all future quilts!

@ebetwalsh1 3 года назад

I never comment on anything, but I’m making an exception for this ruler. I love to sew, and I like making quilts. Unfortunately, I am a terrible cutter, despite my best efforts. I’ve tried every ruler out there, including other slotted rulers, and I’ve still had inaccurate results. As such, I have several quilt kits that I’ve never begun because I dread the cutting process. The Creative Grids Non-Slip Stripology has changed my life. Over the past few days, I’ve easily cut out accurate pieces for my quilt. I wish this ruler could handle any size strip. When I had to leave the ruler to trim 5” squares down to 4 ⅞ “ squares, I used the Itty Bitty Eights XL Rectangle ruler, but my squares were still off. I’d love to see a 7/8ths line added to the Stripology ruler to move it and cut pieces into 7/8” increments like using it to cut 1/4” increments. Now that this ruler has removed most of my cutting stress, I will finally make all of those beautiful quilts that I’ve been avoiding! Thank you for this beneficial video!

@user-mp9ur3bj1f 3 года назад

Thank you I forgot I could square up my 12 ?12 squares that I just did with my other rulers. :( OK I have your post card in front of me on my table along with your ruler that is always on the table to remind me going forward.Thank goodness for You Tube where I can watch you do what I need to do with my fabulous ruler.

@patriciaabel6848 2 года назад

I just got mine today. What a great tool for those of us who quilt. It was expensive, but I think in the long run I will save some money cutting my own strips. Hardest part is picking out the fabrics that go together.

@gigiontube Год назад

“Fabric Cafe” has 3 yards kits and patterns for how to do those. All fabrics are coordinated and shown in videos, so you see what you buy. Just watch few of their videos here to see what they are about. Good luck !

@kimberlysalmonowicz6121 4 года назад

Love your style! I bought the ruler, patterns and arrow stickers! I loved them so much, that I bought a pack for my friend. The hardest thing about the ruler is storing it, so it does not bend. So any tips on that? 😍

@squirrel8791 2 года назад

I have a peg board in my sewing room that I keep my cutting rulers hung on, as well as my rotary cutters- out of of the grandkids reach! I’m grateful for the set up to allow it. Prior to that, I had it in a large zip up travel bag for rulers and mats I bought at joAnns that I tucked between the wall and my sewing desk when not in use to protect it. (Before grands) ;) you could also put it under a guest bed along with the cutting mat. I’ve heard of a lady storing her cutting mat between a spare mattress and box springs, I suppose it could go there too! Perhaps she was hiding her sewing purchases in general now that I think on that one… but I digress. Funny aside anyway… 😂 I do love my stripology ruler and I hand her proudly! Thanks for the video on all the additional things to be done with it than stripping!

Hi. Just to say I love the ruler. One question I am working a quilt that calls for blocks to be cut at 3 7/8 and 6 7/8’s, is it possible on the Stripology ruler? Thank you🙏

@fkknight1 4 года назад

Sherry Seitz No. Half inch increments only. This is an update to an older video. They do show how to cut quarter inch increments.

@GEDesigns 4 года назад

You can do that with the Stripology Mini

@katywuste9054 4 года назад

I’ve visited your website and would like to buy one but as a new quilter I don’t know which one to get.... Also I’m a bit confused with measurements. If the pattern asks for 2 inch square do you cut a 2 1/2 inch square to allow for the seams?

@Hmcet 3 года назад

I hope I figure it out soon, but when I place my rotary cutter in the teardrop and proceed to cut through, I’m not getting to the fabric. Some partial cuts but other than that, it’s not making it through. Rewatching video for angle - still not getting through - concerned that repeated tries are damaging the ruler. Changed blade on rotary cutter too. Yikes.

@carolynshepard9107 Месяц назад

This is exactly my problem. It will not cut a full strip. Someone here mentioned it can't be used on a table that is not perfectly flat. I noticed my table depresses a bit when I put pressure on it, so I may dig out the ruler again, and try it on a flat board, or something. I was so sad I couldn't get it to work.

@tammyc.8751 Год назад

I think there is no easier or more accurate way to cut fabric. Btw, you must have a level flat table or countertop surface. I had a little trouble with my cuts being a tiny bit short. Lay gently, don't stretch the fabric and be certain your cutting table isn't slightly concave when you press down on it.

@martast.john-anders6448 6 дней назад

The cutting slits are on the half inch mark, so if the edge of your fabric is on the zero line, there is no cutting slit at the 2 1/4 inch point.

@AiryAsh 3 года назад

You can...just have to use a little math to figure out where to cut if squaring up that small of a block. But it’s such a big ruler for such a tiny block. If you can go the extra mile and get the stripology mini, that’s more smaller and recommended for easier way to whip out tiny 2 1/2 squares. Did I also mention the mini would be lighter too.
