I just assumed so because it seems like it would be so much easier than using a ruler. Well I'm glad you finally discovered the freedom (from the ruler)!<br /><br />Almost 20 years ago Nancy Crow told me in my first quilting workshop ever that you don't need a ruler to piece a quilt, or to cut a straight line and a light bulb went off in my head.

Do away with my ruler, hmmmm? I know I cannot do without my rotary cutter but when I think back to watching my grandmother quilt I am sure she didn't have a rotary cutter and probably not a ruler.
