I'm so excited to share my new video ruler tutorials with you this month! Today I have the Hex N More video tutorial for you. Over the next few weeks I'll have a new tutorial on each ruler for you each week. In this video tutorial I demonstrate how to cut shapes from fabric strips with the Hex N More ruler. Learn how to cut Hexagons, Half Hexagons, Triangles and Jewels. You can cut each shape in four different sizes using the Hex N More ruler. I review how to cut shapes for right and left-handed sewists and quilters in the video. GENERAL RULER INFORMATION: All shapes are rotary cut from fabric strips. Cut a strip and then cut the desired shape or shapes from the strip. A 1/4" seam allowance is included on each shape of all of the rulers. The Hex N More ruler cuts 4 shapes in 4 sizes. The Hex N More ruler can be used in place of the Mini Hex N More ruler.

Cupcakes Block Free Tutorial Download PDF here. Photo Courtesy of Thelma @cupcakesndaisies 9" x 9" Supplies needed: 10" x 10" assorted print squares 8 1/2" WOF solid white strips for skinny curves (4 strips will give you enough sets for 40 blocks) 9" or larger square up ruler Quick Curve Ruler Layout QCR over 10" square with the corner sitting 1/2" in from left side of ruler at the horizontal 6" line and the top right and bottom right of ruler sits over the fabric square evenly 1/2" over fabric. (See red arrows) Cut in curve cut out, flip block and repeat on other side. Take an 8 1/2" white strip. Center between the dashed lines and left edge of fabric corners is under the curve cut out. Make your first cut. Shift ruler to right and position so the corners of the previous cut curve sit at 4 1/2" on ruler (see white arrows). Make your cut. *Note: You should be able to cut 10 curve sets per strip. Layout pieces as show above by alternating the different prints to give more interest to the block. Sew the skinny white curve to each side of the center curve piece. Match up ends before sewing pieces together. Next, sew on the outer curve triangles to each side of the skinny curves. Place the curved triangle a 1/4" down before sewing together. Press seam from back of block any way you desire. Using a 9" or larger square up ruler, square up blocks to a 9" square. Center the outside curved seams close to or on the 4" marks from the top right corner and 4" in from the 9" mark on the bottom left corner. (See red circles and yellow dashed square to help you for squaring up your blocks) You will end up with a 9" square. Thelma ended up using 36 squares for her quilt and connected them with sashing and cornerstones. She used 2" wide fabric for her sashing and 2" squares for her cornerstones. ~Sew Kind of Wonderful~
