Can you use this ruler for making patterns on paper?

I use it mostly for drawing lines and boxes (like mortise locations). It's very good for locating hole centers if the sides of the workpiece are perpendicular. Within those limits, patterns can be drawn.

You can certainly use it for drawing on paper. It is mostly useful for drawing lines perpendicular and parallel to an edge. Other angles won't be as easy and may not be satisfactory. I don't actually know how you would do them. An Incra protractor or center rule will help for a wider variety of angles. Look up Incra ruler on YouTube. You will find very helpful videos that will answer your question better than I can. I don't know what sort of patterns you wish to make.

I think it can as long as that paper is taped in place and near the edge of the table so that you can slide it along to make its marks.

Depends on what you mean. If paper is attached to something solid like a piece of wood, a table near an edge, etc. then perhaps so. Maybe this will give you some ideas ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZBlkwHhAms

Hi Girard, That is hard to say because the thickness would not register on any ruler or measuring tape. But this is one of the thickest vinyl sheets/fabrics available. It can been sewn with a very heavy gauge needle or there are special adhesives which can joins seams. I used it to make an activity pad for my grand-nephew.

i'm not sure. i do know that in craft stores they make fabric markers. You'd probably better off with those.

You can, but be careful about what pen you're using, or it'll smear (the 'paper' is a bit slick/waxy). Maybe get an extra so you have one to test out pens on?

In my opinion that is impossible. Because paper very thin and they has not guide line for paper. Re beside paper I never used that.

yes, but you would have to clamp it down. and I wouldn't recommend that for common use. It's just so heavy that a cheaper cutter would be easier in the long run. It also has a problem cutting straight (regardless of how much paper you cut)

Unfortunately the markings are in 1/2" increments, not 1/4". There is a ruler that shows smaller increments, down to 1/8", which helps. However I've gotten around this problem by notching a small mark with a knife in my most common 1/4" measurements (for instance 4 1/4") then rubbing in a little black paint. This has worked fine for me. I use this paper cutter extensively and think it is well worth the price. They should hire me as a spokesman :).

There is no specific diameter that it cannot cut. Templates are always valuable in this respect, though. There are many templates available - especially if can get access to drafting or art supply outlets. If not, one can conceivably be creative and make/or use ones own template. As mentioned in a prior answer, this "gadget" is a freeform cutter; can only cut thin sheets of paper and requires a bit of practice to be able to cut "clean" circles (or any other shape, for that matter).

As far as I can tell, after looking through all the printing options, the answer is 'no'. At least not on standard size paper (8.5 by 11). Perhaps there could be some trick to doing it with smaller size papers, but I sincerely doubt it.

It's paper so you can, but I would be careful not to cut too much. You might want to practice with a piece of paper and make a fan. Use it as a test run and see how it changes after cutting it.

you can but wouldn't suggest it. UNLESS you are trying to make a stencil of some sort...?

Yes you sure CAN! In fact, on the back of each sheet are ruled lines going both horizontally and vertically so you can get a straight cut. I do this all the time in my scrapbooking procedure and it works 100% AOK. YES, to answer your question...and I am getting another order of these this week. Hope I've helped.

Just roll the head around uuntil ya find what size ya need. It'll click and you're set. Now I use mine for leather so I don't know about paper.

Never tried it. The slots on the Incra rule are very fine, leaving little side-to-side play so I doubt it would work with a fine tip Sharpie. I will say these rulers are great and work very well with a pencil.

Yes! The Cricut Explore uses the same 12 x 12 and 12 x 24 cutting mats that you currently use with your Expression or Expression 2.

Yes you can. Just be careful when you sand around the edges of the paper. It's a rubber pad so the paper will stick and peal with no problem.

I tried it and it doesn't work well at all. I would not recommend using it for that purpose. It works well if using a marker or an ink pen but not a pencil. Go figure huh???
