What Makes the Sew Square 10 Inch Ruler Different
A 10-inch square ruler is a staple in any quilter's toolkit, but the Sew Square 10 Inch Ruler by Sew Kind of Wonderful has a few thoughtful details that set it apart. The ruler features easy-to-read lines and numbers, which reduces eye strain and cutting mistakes when you are squaring up blocks or trimming half-square triangles.
What really distinguishes this ruler is its inclusion of special marks designed for specific Sew Kind of Wonderful patterns. If you sew those patterns, the ruler acts as a built-in template, saving you the step of marking your own alignment points. Even if you do not use those patterns, the clear grid and bold numbering make it a reliable general-purpose square ruler.

Using the Sew Square Ruler for Accurate Squaring
To square up a block, place the ruler on top of your unfinished block so that the desired finished size lines align with the seam intersections. The easy-to-read numbers on the Sew Square ruler make it simple to see where your block falls. Press down firmly with your non-cutting hand to keep the ruler from shifting.
Trim along two adjacent sides first, then rotate the block and align the freshly cut edges with the ruler's markings to trim the remaining two sides. The special marks for Sew Kind of Wonderful patterns can be used as additional alignment guides if you are working on one of those projects.
Tips for Getting the Most from This Ruler
Keep the ruler clean. A light wipe with a damp cloth removes lint and static, helping the ruler grip the fabric better. If the ruler slides, a few small dots of non-slip grip dots on the underside can help without obstructing the markings.
When cutting, use a sharp rotary blade. A dull blade can catch on the ruler's edge and cause it to shift. Replace your blade regularly, especially after cutting through multiple layers or dense fabric.
Store the ruler flat or hung up. Avoid leaning it against other tools where the edges can get nicked. A damaged edge can throw off your cutting accuracy.
