The CGRJAW13 completely eliminates those production headaches. By piecing with consistent 2.5-inch strips and then using the specialized angled markings to trim the outer edges at each round, you get a clean, whimsical look without any wavy seams. Your finished blocks line up flush with each other on your sewing machine and press flat under a hot iron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eJelly Roll and Pre-Cut Collectors:\u003c\/b\u003e An excellent asset for quickly turning coordinated 2.5-inch strip packs into modern, high-movement scrap quilts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eModern and Improv Quilters:\u003c\/b\u003e Perfect for achieving a stylized, artistic, free-form look while maintaining strict geometric tolerances for final quilt assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAll Skill Levels:\u003c\/b\u003e Simplifies asymmetrical piecing so that beginners can skip paper-piecing steps, while allowing advanced makers to hit maximum production speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eIncluded Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"\u003eCreative Grids 10\" Wonky Log Cabin Trim Tool Acrylic Ruler (CGRJAW13)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"\u003eAccess to downloadable, fully illustrated step-by-step instruction guides\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/b\u003e CGRJAW13\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTotal Raw Footprint:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.5 inches by 10.5 inches square\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFinished Block Capacity:\u003c\/b\u003e Calibrated for 10-inch finished block layouts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStrip Compatibility Width:\u003c\/b\u003e Optimized for 2.5-inch strips\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Ann Wright\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCountry of Manufacture:\u003c\/b\u003e USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDo I need to use paper templates or paper piecing with this wonky ruler?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,0,1\"\u003eNo. This tool entirely replaces the need for foundation paper piecing.
