If you love foundation paper piecing, you know that accurate seams are the key to 
beautiful results. The Add-A-Quarter Ruler 6in Plus™ makes that accuracy easier by combining a straight edge for rotary cutting with a specially designed lip that automatically adds the customary ¼" seam allowance.
Small but mighty, this handy 2" x 6" ruler is a great addition to any quilter's toolbox — and it can make foundation paper piecing faster, easier, and more precise.
A Little Ruler That Makes a Big Difference
The Add-A-Quarter Ruler makes working with foundation paper piecing easier, combining the speed of rotary cutting with the accuracy of a template.
Its specially designed lip catches the edge of the template or folded foundation paper to automatically add the customary ¼" seam allowance, giving you a consistent cutting line while helping prevent template shaving.
Use the tapered edge to fold the foundation along the sewing line, then let the beveled lip catch the fabric crease and stabilize the ruler as you trim away excess fabric and prepare for the next piece.
With less measuring and fewer adjustments, you can achieve accurate seams and spend more time creating beautiful fabric art.
Fold, Trim, Sew, Repeat
One of the features that makes the Add-A-Quarter Ruler especially useful for foundation paper piecing is its tapered edge.
The tapered edge makes it easy to fold the foundation paper along the sewing line. Once folded, the beveled lip catches the fabric crease and helps stabilize the ruler against the seam.
That combination of features helps you create an accurate ¼-inch seam allowance again and again.
In the video above, you'll see how the ruler's tapered edge, beveled lip, and straight edge work together to simplify foundation paper piecing. You'll also see examples of the incredible fabric art you can create with accurate, precise piecing.
And that's one of the best things about tools like this: they help turn precise techniques into beautiful finished projects.
Small Tool. Big Possibilities.
The Add-A-Quarter Ruler 6in Plus™ may be small enough to tuck into any sewing space, but it can make a big difference when accuracy matters.
Whether you're cutting templates or foundation paper-piecing, its specially designed lip, tapered edge, beveled edge, and straight cutting edge work together to make the process easier.
And when accurate seams come together, fabric becomes art.
