Circle Savvy Ruler by Creative Grids® – The Ultimate Curved Cutting System
Say goodbye to tracing bowls or wrestling with flimsy templates. The Creative Grids® Circle Savvy Ruler is a revolutionary tool designed to cut perfect circles, semi-circles, and quarter-circles from 2″ to 15 ½” with ease. Designed by Gudrun Erla (of GE Designs), this ruler uses a clever “slotted” system that guides your rotary cutter along a precise path. Whether you are creating “Drunkard’s Path” blocks, “Orange Peels,” or large-scale circular appliqué, this tool ensures your curves are smooth and mathematically perfect every single time.
Why the Circle Savvy Ruler is a Game-Changer:
- Slotted Cutting Channels: Features precision-cut slots that accommodate a 28mm or 45mm rotary cutter, allowing you to cut circles in ½” increments without ever lifting the template.
- Massive Range: One single tool creates circles ranging from a tiny 2″ all the way up to a giant 15 ½” in diameter.
- Patented Non-Slip Grip: Like all Creative Grids® rulers, the “gripper” on the back holds your fabric securely in place, preventing the shifting that often happens when cutting curves.
- Multi-Unit Versatility: Easily cut whole circles for appliqué, half-circles for “Fans,” or quarter-circles for “Drunkard’s Path” units.
- Folded Fabric Friendly: Designed to be used on folded fabric to cut full circles in one quick pass.
