How to use the Precision Flying Geese & HST Ruler by Kimberly Einmo• Two-color, two-sided ruler makes it easy to see exactly the size you need to cut
without eye strain!• Clear, uncluttered view with quarter, half and whole inch markings.• You use half and whole inch size strips. No need for ⅞” increments.• No math, no wasted fabric, and no stress!• Make ten sizes of flying geese units and ten sizes of half-square triangle units!• Cover the raw edge of your fabric with the perfect-width lines on the ruler to cut
accurately.• All the directions are printed right on the ruler, so you’ll never forget how to use it!• 45-degree line for cutting diamonds, triangles and other shapes.

To Make Flying Geese Units-To cut the center (A) triangles:
1. Layer 2–2½ fabric strips on a cutting mat. (More than 4 layers can cause slippage and result in loss of cutting accuracy.) Align the top edge of Side A (magenta) of the Precision Flying Geese & HST Ruler with the top edge of the strips. The bottom edge will align with the corresponding measurement on the ruler, with the finished size printed along the left edge of the ruler.
2. Use your rotary cutter to cut the fabric on both sides of the ruler.
3. Rotate the ruler 180 degrees (don’t flip it over) and align it with the diagonally cut edge of the fabric as shown.
4. Use your rotary cutter to make the next cut. Repeat, rotating the ruler 180 degrees along the remaining fabric to cut the desired number of center A triangles (Diagram A).
Diagram A:
To cut the side (B) triangles:
1. To cut mirror-image, B triangles, place 2–2½ strips right or wrong sides together and cut as shown in Diagram B. NOTE: If you only need a few B triangle pairs, fold one strip in half and cut as directed.
2. Use Side B (mint green) of the Precision Flying Geese & HST Ruler and align the top edge of the ruler with the top of the strip-pair. The bottom of the strip-pair will align with the corresponding measurement on the ruler. Use your rotary cutter to cut the fabric on both sides of the ruler.
3. Rotate the ruler 180 degrees (remember, don’t flip it over) and align it with the diagonally cut edge of the fabric as shown. Make the next cut.
4. Repeat the process, rotating the ruler 180 degrees after each cut along the remaining strip-pair to cut the desired number of B triangle pairs (Diagram B).
Diagram B:
Flying Geese Assembly
1. Match the blunt point of the A triangle to the blunt point of the B triangles and the center triangle points to the pointed ends of the B triangles as shown (Diagram C).
2. Place a B triangle right sides together (RST) on top of the A triangle and stitch ¼” from the tip of the blunt point to bottom of the triangle.
3. Press the seam allowance away from the A triangle before adding the next B triangle.
4. Place the second B triangle RST on top of the A triangle and stitch a ¼” seam.
5. Press the seam allowance away from the A triangle.
Trim the dog ears.
Diagram C:

To make Half-Square Triangles (HSTs):
1. Layer 2–2½ strips, rights sides together, and trim the selvage (or raw) ends.
2. Use Side B of the Precision Flying Geese & HST Ruler and align the top edge of the ruler with the top edge of the strip-pair and align the long edge with the trimmed ends. The bottom edge of the strip-pair will align with the corresponding measurement on the ruler. Use your rotary cutter to cut the fabric as shown.
3. Rotate the ruler 180 degrees (remember, don’t flip it over) and align it with the diagonally cut edge of the strip-pair. Make the next cut. Repeat the process, rotating the ruler 180 degrees after each cut along the remaining strip-pair to cut the desired number of B triangle pairs (Diagram B).
Diagram B:
Half-Square Triangle Assembly
1. Align the blunt with blunt and sharp with sharp pointed ends of two B triangles. Sew along the diagonal with a ¼” seam. Press toward the darker triangle (Diagram D).
Diagram D:
How to use the Precision Jelly Roll Ruler or Precision Precuts Ruler by Kimberly Einmo• These two-color rulers have mint green lines
which make it fast and easy to cut the most commonly-cut sizes of squares, rectangles and diamonds.
• Simply cover the raw edge of your fabric with the perfect-width lines on the ruler to cut accurately.
• No math, no wasted fabric, and no stress!• Equally easy for both right and left-handed
quilters to use. • Makes it easy to see and cut accurately with no
eye strain and on almost every color and print fabric!
• The size of these rulers makes them especially handy for cutting precut-sized strips and shapes from fat quarters or yardage.
• Single 45-degree line makes it perfect for cutting diamonds or squaring up your units accurately.
• Perfect “go-to” rulers for your cutting table!

Reliability by Designwww.janome.comPage 22
You will need:
• Precision Flying Geese & HST Ruler
• Precision Jelly Roll Ruler OR Precision Precuts Ruler
• ¼” piecing foot (with or without guide) OR HP foot and plate system
• 2.4 stitch length
• 50wt. cotton thread in top and bobbin, neutral color or match background fabric
Cut:
Background fabric:
• 4 – 2½” squares
• 10 – 2½” Side B triangle pairs from fabric strip folded in half
Cherry:
• 1 – 2½” square
Cut the following from each of Mint and Royal:
• 4 – 2½” Side A triangles
Rust:
• 4 – 2½” Side B triangles
Block assembly:
• Sew B fabric triangles together to create 4 – 2½” HSTs from Rust and background fabrics.

• 4 Mint A triangle / background fabric B triangles.
• Arrange the HSTs, squares and flying geese units as shown in the diagram.
• Using a ¼” seam allowance, sew the flying geese units into sections as indicated.
• You will sew a partial seam of approximately 1” to join a Mint/background fabric flying geese unit to the center square before adding the other flying geese units to the section. Press the seams as shown. After adding the fourth flying geese unit, complete the partial seam.
• Join the sections together to construct the block.
• Use the Precision Precuts Ruler to square-up the block to 10½” x 10½” if necessary.
