Quilters particularly adore this 9-inch version because it is perfectly scaled for charm pack projects. It is small enough to keep right next to the sewing machine, and the non-slip grip guarantees perfectly straight stitch lines, resulting in blocks that square up beautifully every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCharm Pack Projects:\u003c\/b\u003e The ultimate tool for marking 5-inch pre-cut squares quickly and accurately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHalf-Square Triangles (HSTs):\u003c\/b\u003e Takes the mathematical guesswork out of marking dual sewing lines for HST construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStitch-and-Flip Techniques:\u003c\/b\u003e Perfect for accurately marking corner triangles for flying geese and snowball blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSmall Workspaces:\u003c\/b\u003e A fantastic, compact alternative to long rulers when you are working on small blocks beside your machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eIncluded Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\"\u003eCreative Grids® 9\" Seam Guide Tool (CGRSMN9)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\"\u003eBasic use instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/b\u003e Creative Grids®\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e CGRSMN9\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\/2 inch x 9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Clear High-Grade Acrylic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMade in:\u003c\/b\u003e USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHow do I use this tool to make half-square triangles?\u003c\/b\u003e Place the tool on the wrong side of your fabric square, aligning the dashed center line directly from corner to corner.
