It is time to FINALLY spill the beans!!
For the past year I have been working on developing a ruler!
Introducing...
Hex N More!
What makes this ruler special is that it can cut 4 shapes in 4 sizes!!
The first few samples just arrived at my house!!
The ruler comes with FULL COLOR instructions just like my patterns.
All of the pieces can be cut from strips.
I also have four brand new patterns that use the ruler.
The ruler and patterns will start shipping to shops around 8/8.
I will also have a limited amount of the rulers and the patterns with me at the Long Beach Quilt Festival this weekend! I'll be doing demos of the ruler so stop by to check it out!!
In the USA!
I could have sourced it out of the country and saved money, but it was important to me to produce it here. All of my patterns are also printed in the USA.
Full color instructions are included with each ruler. In addition I'm working on posting a video tutorial that will show how it is used.
Price
The suggested retail price is $29.95

ReplyDeleteJulie, this is very cool. You're so talented. I love the first pattern with the solids. So very cool. I really love all of them it will be hard to choose and that ruler looks easy to use.
