Piece four geese at a time from simple squares, then trim each one to a precise, ready-to-sew size against the printed guides. The cutting chart for every size is printed right on the ruler, so there is no separate chart to misplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ultimate Flying Geese Tool Two makes eight finished sizes that fall between the sizes of the original Ultimate Flying Geese Tool, from a small 3\/4\" x 1-1\/2\" up to a generous 4-1\/4\" x 8-1\/2\". The exclusive Creative Grids non-slip backing keeps the ruler from shifting while you cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the tool only. It comes with fully illustrated step-by-step instructions. Fabric, thread, and other notions are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePick a finished size from the chart printed on the ruler, then choose a method from the illustrated instructions. The four-at-a-time method starts with one large square and four smaller squares: draw a diagonal line, stitch a quarter inch on each side, cut apart, and press to yield four matching geese at once. For example, one 6\" square and four 3-1\/2\" squares make four 2-1\/4\" x 4-1\/2\" geese. A one-at-a-time method is also charted, building a single goose from one rectangle and two squares. Both charts use the same letter labels and finished sizes as the ruler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach unit comes out a little oversized on purpose, then trims to an exact size against the tool, which is the surest way to a crisp, accurate goose. Find the letter for your size and line it up over the sewn unit, then trim the first two sides at Trim #1. A dashed line marks the quarter-inch seam allowance at the point, so the tip stays intact. Rotate the mat, match the same letter at Trim #2, line the freshly trimmed edges up with the dashed guides, and trim the last two sides. The non-slip backing lets you nudge the ruler into place, then holds with light pressure so nothing shifts while you cut, and the dog-ears come off as you go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a flying geese tool. It pieces and trims flying geese units in the eight sizes listed. It is not a general-purpose square ruler, and it does not make the whole-inch and half-inch heights of the original tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuilters who already own the original Ultimate Flying Geese Tool and want the in-between sizes to round out the full range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSewists who want accurate flying geese without buying special triangle templates or wrestling stretchy bias triangles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaking four matching geese at once for borders, sashings, stars, table runners, and medallions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who likes a no-math tool with the cutting chart printed right on the ruler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love This Tool\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour geese at a time from squares is a fast way to work, and trimming to an exact size at the end takes the guesswork out of matching points later. The non-slip backing holds while you cut, so the ruler stays put and the cuts stay clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eight sizes here are the ones that sit between the original tool's sizes. Heights step up in quarter-inch increments from 3\/4\" to 4-1\/4\", with widths from 1-1\/2\" to 8-1\/2\". On their own they are a useful set. Paired with the original Ultimate Flying Geese Tool, they complete a run of flying geese in every quarter-inch finished height from 1\/2\" up to 4-1\/4\", which is why many quilters keep both on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two-step trim is quick once the rhythm is set: Trim #1, rotate, Trim #2, done. With the chart printed on the ruler, the reference is always right there in your hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creative Grids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem #:\u003c\/strong\u003e CGRDH42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deb Heatherly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quilting Ruler and Trim Tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flying geese assembly and trimming tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinished Sizes (8):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/4\" x 1-1\/2\", 1-1\/4\" x 2-1\/2\", 1-3\/4\" x 3-1\/2\", 2-1\/4\" x 4-1\/2\", 2-3\/4\" x 5-1\/2\", 3-1\/4\" x 6-1\/2\", 3-3\/4\" x 7-1\/2\", 4-1\/4\" x 8-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMethod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four geese at a time from squares (cutting chart printed on the tool); a one-at-a-time fold-back method is also included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Tool Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9-1\/2\" x 9-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-slip acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarkings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cutting chart, finished sizes, and Trim #1 and Trim #2 guides printed on the tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e The tool and fully illustrated step-by-step instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the United States\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeed a Different Size Goose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Ultimate Flying Geese Tool by Deb Heatherly (CGRDH4) makes the companion set of eight sizes, from 1\/2\" x 1\" up to 4\" x 8\" finished.
