Patchwork Quilters with Arthritis or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
I am a novice quilter, I was almost ready to give up quilting, even though I enjoyed it so much, because I was becoming so annoyed with myself. It seemed every 2nd cut I made on my fabric was crooked, because I couldn't keep the ruler perfectly still.
One day recently, my husband was sitting across from me whilst I attempted to make a cut on a piece of expensive fabric. I'd only purchased just enough for what I was doing. The ruler slipped, again. Seeing my expression, and being thoughtful, he asked me that fateful question "Surely there's something you can buy to keep the ruler from slipping?". When I told him I had searched high and low with no success apart from a little plastic thing with suction cups about as useful as fingernails, he informed me he would go and make me something. Off he went, to 'the shed'. Several days later he came in with the prototype of the RuleSteady. I've never looked back. I've not wasted a single piece of fabric through ruler slippage since. And I Never make a cut without it. We have also found that the rulesteady is of great benefit to those quilters with Arthritis or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
