To Create WedgesFrom the 14¼” strips: Lay the wedge ruler across the strips matching

the lower cut edge to the smaller end of the ruler and the upper cut edge

to the bottom of the ¼” tape. Rotary cut the first wedge shape. Rotate

the ruler 180° and line the cutting edge against the last cut and the top

and bottom marks as previously advised. Cut the second wedge.

Continue in this manner until you have 18 dark and 18 light narrow

wedges. (Diagram 2)
