The CGREU2 addresses this problem by stabilizing the fabric completely during the rotary cutting process. Because the ruler does not slide or shift mid-cut, your 45-degree angles remain mathematically true. When you move to your sewing machine, the raw fabric edges align beautifully without stretching, allowing your intersecting star centers to lay flat under a hot iron without unsightly lumps or pulled seams.\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\"\u003eLone Star \u0026amp; Eight-Point Star Blocks:\u003c\/b\u003e An absolute game-changer for cutting the uniform segments needed for traditional starburst configurations.\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\"\u003eArgyle \u0026amp; Chevron Borders:\u003c\/b\u003e Perfect for creating striking, modern geometric borders and continuous diamond chains.\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\"\u003ePrecision Patchwork Artists:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed for intermediate and advanced quilters looking to accelerate their strip-piecing speed while tightening up their construction tolerances.\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 8-Inch 45-Degree Diamond Dimensions Ruler (CGREU2)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"\u003eFully illustrated, step-by-step cutting instructions and block layout guide\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 CGREU2\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\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Heavy-duty, premium laser-cut acrylic\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\"\u003eAngle Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e 45 degrees\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\"\u003eMaximum Height Capacity:\u003c\/b\u003e 8 inches\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\"\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\"\u003eCan this ruler be used to cut blocks other than diamonds?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,0,1\"\u003eYes.
