You asked for it!  You got it!  The Wonder Cut has a new look to it!  Many quilters told us they wanted to make smaller or larger half-triangles using the Wonder Cut Ruler.  We listened to you and are proud to introduce a new and improved Wonder Cut Ruler.

Just what is the Wonder Cut Ruler??
The Wonder Cut Ruler is the ultimate ruler to use when making  half-square triangles, or three-part squares, or even four-part squares perfect every time!  No paper to peel, no fabric points to get stuck in the feed dogs of your sewing machine, and best of all, no math to fuss with.  The Wonder Cut Ruler has all the math included in its exclusive design.  If you can sew a 1/4" seam, you can make a perfect half-square triangle every time.  Did I mention the Wonder Cut Ruler was fast?  We knew using the ruler made making half-square triangles fast, but just how fast is fast?  Try 130 in an hour from fabric on the bolt, to half-squares pressed open.  We believe that no other ruler on the market can make that claim.

IT'S HERE!!!
We are excited to announce the publication of our first book "Back to Basics - The Wonder Cut Ruler Way".   We've included a baker's dozen of patterns -- from the basics to the more advanced for quilters who enjoy a little challenge.  The book sells for $18.00 (US funds) plus $1.60 postage within the US and its territories.   Idaho residents must add 6% sales tax.  

How the ruler came to be ....
Like most quilting tools on the market today, the Wonder Cut Ruler was designed to fill a void.  It all started when we were playing with a new design for our Mystery Classes we teach at our local quilt shop.  We had three goals in mind when we started the monthly Mystery Classes:  1) teach a new method; 2) keep it simple; and 3) make it fast!  We wanted to make a quilt entirely of half-square triangles, but every method we tried was just too time consuming.  With the help from "Stan the Man" (husband/father), our new ruler was born.  Before we took it to be manufactured, we had the help of four great local quilters test and re-test the ruler.  To those four quilters (Betty, Judy, Marianne, and  Verna) we say "Thank you.  We couldn't have done it without you!"
How you can own your own Wonder Cut Ruler ....
The Wonder Cut Ruler sells for $15.00 (US funds) plus shipping ($4.50 for priority mail).  Idaho residents (yeppers, we are out here in the wild, wild west) must add 6% sales tax.  The Wonder Cut Ruler can be ordered by sending a check or money order.

OR by contacting us.
Doing some shopping for that special quilter friend?  Just tuck a note in with your payment giving us the name and address of who we should send the ruler to, and we will gift wrap it and mail it for you at no extra charge.  The Wonder Cut Ruler makes a great secret sister gift.

What makes the Wonder Cut Ruler so special?
We took a whole new look at making half-square triangles and developed an entirely different method behind our ruler called "pre-sewing".  To take a closer look at this method and how the Wonder Cut Ruler works. please
