Finding that exact fractional line on a traditional multi-purpose ruler is a recipe for eye strain and slipping miscuts. The CGR78 solves this layout issue by isolating the exact measurement you need into a dedicated, rock-solid template. It stops fabric shifting completely, giving you clean, flat-set trims and saving expensive yards of fabric from ruinous miscuts.\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\"\u003eQuilters who make traditional half-square triangles, star blocks, and multi-piece geometric patchwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"\u003eArtisans frustrated by the tedious micro-math of adding fractional seam allowances to finished design units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\"\u003eSewists looking to maximize fabric yields from strip packs, jelly rolls, or scrap collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\"\u003eMakers searching for an ultra-reliable, specialized geometry template that speeds up mass block cutting workflows.\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® CGR78 Simple 7\/8\" Triangle Maker Ruler\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\"\u003eStep-by-step illustrated instruction manual explaining calculation rules and cutting steps for perfect half-square triangles\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\"\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/b\u003e CGR78\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\"\u003ePurpose:\u003c\/b\u003e Half-Square Triangle Construction\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\"\u003eIncrements:\u003c\/b\u003e Optimized for 7\/8-inch fractional additions\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\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Heavy-duty, premium-grade laser acrylic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/b\u003e Made in the USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQ: Why do I need a specific 7\/8-inch ruler for cutting triangles?\u003c\/b\u003e A: Standard quilting math dictates that to cut squares and slice them once diagonally to create half-square triangles, you must add 7\/8 of an inch to your desired finished block size. Finding this exact line on normal rulers is difficult; this ruler has it built-in explicitly to save you time and prevent cutting mistakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQ: Can this triangle maker ruler be used safely alongside standard rotary cutters?\u003c\/b\u003e A: Yes. It is manufactured from the exact same thick, industrial-grade acrylic used across all standard Creative Grids® templates, ensuring your fingers remain safely guarded when tracking with 18mm, 28mm, or 45mm rotary cutter blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQ: Will the non-slip grippers on the back snag or wear out delicate fabrics?\u003c\/b\u003e A: No. The patented gripper design utilizes smooth, micro-textured friction tracks molded directly into the acrylic structure rather than abrasive sprayed-on grit or sticky film. It provides maximum holding power without snagging fabrics or leaving adhesive residue.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Creative Grid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45853329588326,"sku":null,"price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/7872\/8294\/files\/CGR78_1.jpg?v=1782512237","url":"https:\/\/threadworks.com\/products\/creative-grids-simple-7-8-triangle-maker-cgr78","provider":"Thread Works ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
