Wright Products Wrights 1 6-Inch Tri-Recs Tools

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It was the only ruler set I could find having both pieces. And - it's exactly what I needed!!

So happy i found this quality ruler to cut squares in a triangle block at such a reasonable price. It is well marked and easy to use. So happy I found it as it was not available in my quilt shop.

Exactly what I wanted

Great quilting tool!

Making one inch hexies . Fold 2.5 inch strip of fabric in half. Line up on 2.5” line, cut on the right side of the triangle. Slide triangle along cutting the same angle. You can cut the opposite side of the triangle at the same time, but I can’t cut on the left side of a ruler. So after cutting all the same angles, I flip the fabric so I can cut the same angle again from the right side of the triangle. A small triangle is all that’s is leftover. Ready to glue baste with only a small cutting board. No scissors or tiny pieces floating around. The backs are very neat. Lefties, reverse this process. This process makes perfect wool hexagons.

For those quilters familiar with the "54-40 or fight" block (when combined with "shoo fly" block, it makes a spectacular quilt), this tool is indispensable. I've been wanting to make this very challenging quilt by cutting my fabric pieces the traditional way--measuring and making my own templates--very tedious, very hard to be precise. With the Tri-Recs tool, the pieces were so much easier to cut. I gave it a 4-star rating because the package did not have instructions that should be easy enough for a beginner quilter to understand. I would recommend this tool, which has so many triangle-unit possibilities, to anybody.

I wanted to make this quilt so I had to order the template to make sure I got my points correct. At first when I started it, because I’m not a seasoned quilter I was not exactly sure how to use. Finally I figured it out did not take me that long.it after this is the quilt I came up with and I totally love it. I do plan on making another one for my other daughter. This size came out to be a small lap quilt ! next time I will make it larger. I’m totally pleased with this little template and would highly recommend it.

Great ruler for making stars !!!!!
