The Creative Grids Square on Square Trim Tool (CGRJAW7) is an industrial-grade acrylic template engineered by designer Jean Ann Wright to eliminate the primary frustration of angled piecing: wonky corners, chopped-off points, and warped blocks. Sized perfectly to execute clean trimming for both 3-inch and 6-inch finished block configurations, this tool uses a specialized multi-stage registration framework that centers your core patch perfectly before you lock down your rotary blade, ensuring flawless 90-degree corners every single time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSignature Non-Slip Gripper Network:\u003c\/b\u003e Features the patented clear gripper material unique to Creative Grids on the back surface.

As you add successive rounds, a tiny fraction of an inch of distortion compounds quickly, leaving you with an uneven block that stretches or puckers when sewn into your quilt design. The CGRJAW7 halts that compounding error completely. By anchoring your central patch beneath the non-slip workspace and cleanly rotary trimming the outer raw edges after completing each layer, any minor machine or stretching variance is safely sliced away. Your units line up flush and press out beautifully 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\"\u003eEconomy Block and Star Designers:\u003c\/b\u003e An absolute necessity for quilters creating intricate mosaic-style quilts, feathered star medallions, and highly structured modern geometric patterns.\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\"\u003eScrap and Charm Pack Cruisers:\u003c\/b\u003e Excellent for quickly resizing scrap fabric bins, jelly roll strips, and standard pre-cut 5-inch charm squares into geometrically flawless blocks.\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\"\u003eQuilters Seeking Structural Precision:\u003c\/b\u003e Provides an immediate confidence boost for intermediate makers transitioning away from basic squares into advanced multi-layer angled layouts without fearing blunted points.\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 Square on Square Trim Tool 3\" or 6\" Acrylic Ruler (CGRJAW7)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"\u003eFully illustrated, step-by-step paper instruction guide featuring cutting schematics and block map layouts\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 CGRJAW7\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 Matrix Footprint:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.5 inches by 6.5 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 Capacity Sizes:\u003c\/b\u003e Calibrated for 3-inch and 6-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\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Heavy-duty, industrial premium laser-cut acrylic\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\"\u003eWhat is the difference between a raw block size and a finished block size on this tool?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,0,1\"\u003eThe ruler features a true raw footprint of 6.5 inches square.
