Stripology Tutorials

 

It's been awhile since I've done a post.  This one is for anyone who has a Stripology Ruler, anyone considering getting one and also anyone who isn't convinced that one of these rulers won't make much of a difference in the chore of cutting.

My ruler is not the latest edition and some of the features are missing, but once I got more comfortable with inserting the cutter blade in the slot I didn't need anything to convince me that this cutting tool was going to reduce my cutting time to about 1/3 of what it used to be.  My ruler was given to me so I didn't have to spend $100 plus for it.  You never could have convinced me any ruler was worth that much money until I actually started using it.

Recently, in my Virtual Quilting Group one of the members asked if anyone had one and could recommend it and there were quite a few people there who weighed in with glowing reviews.  One of the women suggested watching the three tutorials by Gudrun Erla, the developer of the ruler.  They're a good place to start if you are a new Stripology user or are wondering how exactly they can save you so much cutting time.  If you've had your ruler for awhile you will probably learn some new ways to use your ruler, for example, cutting triangles.  I saw a lot more videos on Youtube which I didn't get  chance to watch, like cutting bias strips.  It seems like people have learned a lot of cutting tricks with these and have shared them on Youtube.

Here is the Stripology 101 video.
