How to Square Up Your Fabric the Super Easy Way Using Guidelines Rulers

Using 3 Rulers with the fabric folded once.

Using 2 Rulers with the fabric folded twice.

Using 3 Guidelines Rulers with the Fabric Folded Only Once

With the full width of the fabric folded only once to two layers,
you can square up the Super Easy Way with
three Guidelines Rulers connected as a corner square.

1) Connect three 6”x12” Guidelines Rulers
to make a corner square.

2) Line the Fabric Guides’ edges on the bottom
Ruler up to the folded edge of the fabric.

3) Hold the 6”x24” Ruler in place with your left hand while squeezing the release levers on the Connector with your right hand to take the bottom ruler off. Then trim off the raw edge.

4) You can then slide the Guide up to the fabric's edge, and start cutting accurate strips from the same side of the fabric without having to rotate it 180º.

Using 2 Guidelines Rulers with the Fabric Folded Twice

If you're comfortable folding your fabric twice to four layers,
you can square up the Super Easy Way, using just
two Guidelines Rulers connected as a corner square.

1) Connect two 6”x12” Guidelines Rulers
to make a corner square.

2) Line the Fabric Guides’ edges on the bottom
Ruler up to the folded edge of the fabric.

3) Hold the Ruler on the left in place with your left hand while squeezing the release levers on the Connector with your right hand to take the bottom ruler off. Then trim off the raw edge. (Reverse this if you're left-handed.)

4) You can then slide the Guide up to the fabric's edge, and start cutting accurate strips from the same side of the fabric without having to rotate it 180º.

How to Connect Guidelines Rulers and How to Take them Apart

You can make a 6"x24" to cut the full width of fabric or connect them side-by-side to cut wider pieces. You can even make a Corner Square to square up but taken apart, they will fit in a small bag or even in the case with your sewing machine.

1) Insert the Tabs on the ends of both lower arms on the Connector into the center of the holes in the ruler.

2) Push on both arms and slide the Connector to the right until you hear a click to lock it onto the first Ruler.

3) Insert the Tabs on the upper arms into the center of the holes in the 2nd ruler. Hold the Connector in place on the 1st ruler and slide the 2nd ruler to the left up against the Lip Edge.

How to Take the Rulers Apart

Squeeze the extensions on the end of the Connector together and slide the top ruler to the right until the tabs are back in the center of the holes.

Then you can lower the ruler and pull it away. Squeeze the extensions again to take the Connector off the other ruler.
