Description
Miniature quilts and small-scale piecing call for cuts as precise as the blocks themselves. This 3 x 7 inch rectangle marks every 1/8 inch in bold black and white dashes, so eighth-inch increments stay easy to read on light and dark fabric alike.
What's Included
This listing includes the Itty-Bitty Eights 3 x 7 Inch Rectangle Ruler only. Fabric and other notions are not included.
How to Use It
Dashed 1 inch, 1/4 inch, and 1/8 inch grid lines run the length of the ruler, keeping the fabric edge visible at every increment. Black diamonds mark 1/8 inch units and white diamonds mark 1/4 inch units, making it easy to tell which measurement is in view while cutting. Slide the ruler into position, then press down: the textured non-slip surface grips the fabric so it stays put through the cut.
Perfect For
- Cutting binding, sashing, and accent strips for miniature quilts
- Trimming pieced strip sets down to eighth-inch increments
- Squaring up small blocks and units before piecing
- Marking precise eighth-inch cuts that most full-size rulers skip
Why You'll Love This Tool
Lisa Bongean designed the Itty-Bitty Eights line around her own miniature quilts, work where an eighth of an inch decides whether a block finishes square. The 3 x 7 inch rectangle handles the smallest pieces at that scale: strip-pieced units, sashing, and blocks trimmed well below a standard 2 inch finish.
Quilters working through strip sets report reaching for this size often when squaring up small nine-patch and similar units, since the narrow width fits neatly against a seam. One limit worth knowing: the eighth-inch markings run along the ruler's length rather than across its width, unlike the 6 inch square in the same line. For cuts that need eighth-inch precision in both directions, pair this rectangle with the Itty-Bitty Eights Square.
