Establishing Parallel or Perpendicular Lines to Redesign Patterns and Add Seam Allowances:

1. Line up any grid line on ruler to pattern line to create parallel lines.
2. Use cross lines of grid to create perpendicular lines.

Drawing Circles:

1. Anchor ruler with thumb tack in center hole marked O.
2. Determine diameter of circle.
3. Divide that number in half and place pencil in corresponding hole.
4. Draw circle by rotating ruler like a compass.

Drawing Scallops:

2. Place center hole O on base line and secure with thumb tack.
3. Determine finished width of scallop and divide that number in half.

Designer's Tip: Use the hard outer edge and flexible feature of the ruler to measure soft curves and create new curved lines when adjusting and altering patterns.
