Hi Meg,
All you need to do is go to your local Hancocks or Joann's and get a
quilter's rotary cutting ruler...fiskars, omingrid etc. All of these have
45 and 60 degree angle lines on it...
When you cut your stack n whack pieces, line up this line with the top
straight edge of your fabric, and make the first cut. From then on you will
have your diamonds when you cut your strips...just thought I'd help you out
there since I saw your post on the sewing newsgroups as well.
I do know that Bethany Reynolds has designed some acrylic templates for
stack n whack, but I see no reason in buying those if you can buy a good all
around ruler that you will use for everything. Good luck!
