I have that ruler, but it didn&#8217;t work the way I expected.

Julie said she uses this technique in a little different way, but that what it shows is basically the same.<\/p>\n<p>One good thing about this technique is that I don&#8217;t have to print paper patterns all the time, use them once and then print another.
