I bought mine at a quilt show. No one knew what it was so I bought just for the ruler. Boy did I ever make an excellent purchase. It’s the best purchase I ever made.
Hello Annette. My name is Cricket Smith. I have a little story to tell you about the quiltersslidelocks origination. They came from scottsburg or. My father earl Williams is the one who made them. Later on he got the Patton for them and then sold to the Patton to sew be it quilts in Texas. It would have to be the best invention that he ever made. My stepmom Sharon is a quilter. She had a bad day when she had her ruler move on her and she had to go buy more fabric for the quilt top my dad had come in at the same time when she was having a meltdown and told him what was wrong with quilting tools and such. He went out to his shed and my ade a slidelock. He brings it into her and she says what is this for and he shows her how it works and the rest is history. I am also a quilter. I love the tools.
Thank you for sharing the story. I absolutely love my two quilter's slidelocks and use them all the time. I purchased mine a long time ago before Sew Be It Quilts purchased the patent.
This was the first tool I purchased after retirement. The manufacturer had compelling videos on their website. I do also use a rotating cutting board but seldom cut with a ruler. I measure, place the slide lock, and measure again. Cut. I usually cut many and long pieces. Then I come back to complete the individual shapes, which I may do on the rotating board.

@@Needlepointers you are more than welcome. It makes cutting so much easier for everything.
