I want this tool. I love doing on point quilts. Doing the math for the set in triangles is a pain. I usually cut the squares bigger then what I need, then end up trimming off the excess. What a waste. I plan on stopping at JoAnne fabric (that is usually where I find my Fons and Porter stuff) on the way home so I can use it tonight.

I just saw the video of the new tryangle. I bought a kit { Tucson Sunset} it has templates to this pattern, will this new tryangle work for this kit? I just don’t want to cut out alot of templates. I bought on fons and portor websit. Hope you can help. Thanks Julie.

- The angle of the Peaky and Spike templates by Marti (Michell,http://www.frommarti.com/setr.shtml)
  that are noted in the Tucson Sunset project are a different angle than that of the template shown in this video. You can see the fun ideas at her website.
  The Easy Diagonal Sets is made to help cut side setting triangles and corner setting triangles from strips rather than squares.

I just watched the episode 238 about the “On Point: easy tool for
setting pieces”. I have the Fons & Porter “Half & Quarter Ruler”.
How is it different from the Fons & Porter “Easy Diagonal Sets
Ruler” ?? I’m confused. (not hard for me, Ha) They look like
they are both triangles.
Thanks , Laura

- The measurements are different for both of these rulers depending on if you are cutting half and quarter square units to piece in blocks, or setting triangles and corner setting triangles,

Isn’t this just another money getter? Why can’t a quilter simply cut out their own rulers from clear template material? That’s much cheaper than buying all those rulers.
