sorry I am of no help here. Never heard of this ruler. Surely someone can help out here. I am sure someone has used one before, with all the ladies on here. Good luck with it.

Ok, here's the scoop.... I went to the city yesterday, and stopped at the quilt store that sent the newsletter. The boondoggle is a $12 ruler that is used to line up fabric (for fussy cutting or in the patterns that are sold seperately for stip pieced scraps) to cut diamonds. Each point on the ruler may be used to cut the 2 sizes of set in triangles.  No, I did not buy one....yet.
