I finally understand what the ratio numbers mean! Thank you! I don’t have a ruler like this yet but I’m thinking of purchasing one.

[@LoveleighLoops]

Yay! It's a great feeling when something finally "clicks".

[@BostonCasemaker]

Wow, you cleared up much confusion in this sort video - excellent demo and instruction! Thank you (off to purchase the pair).

[@Erakius323]

Just got a set of these rulers today. I am looking forward to using them.

[@philliplivingstone5336]

Thank you for this fabulous explanation. I've had the ruler for ages, the instructions are ...lacking... but this has been so wonderfully clear. I can now use it effectively. Best wishes.

[@LoveleighLoops]

You're welcome, Phillip! It did take me a few tries to figure it out and so I wanted to share my knowledge. Happy to hear it was helpful.

[@teknobabe]

Thank You so much for explaining it so well .. I was so confused with the ruler

[@lizabethj2]

Thank you for showing how to make more than one guideline. Yours was the only video I found that does that.

[@LoveleighLoops]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@user-uh8bs1cb3g]

Thank you! It is the best full explanation! I don t speak English, don t know how to say, what I feel about that. But I understand all what you have said and showed. These lines , “x”, “a”, “d”, I finely got what it means. You are good, you helped me very much! I m learning calligraphy and bought this ruler today.

[@denisekinsley3554]

I finally got my engrosser ruler, it was on back order for awhile. Although I knew the general idea, this video was quite helpful - so thank you!

[@LoveleighLoops]

You're welcome, Denise!

[@galemckiddy5120]

Really well done! I have had one of these rulers for a long time, and now I'll start using mine, as lining my paper is a task I dislike, and this will allow me to use so many types of papers . Thanks a lot for the excellent demonstration!

[@LoveleighLoops]

So glad that you enjoyed it :)

[@Chafalota]

THANK YOU SO,SO,SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR CALLIGRAPHY VIDEOS. THEY HAVE HELPED ME OUT SO MUCH🙌🙌🙌

[@LoveleighLoops]

So glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@mariboni516]

This is wonderful! Thank you! :-)

[@timh7246]

Very helpful & easy to follow. I would NOT want to purchase this tool & then try (& fail) to figure out how to use it on my own. Your post ensures it'll become a useful part of my lettering skill portfolio. Thanks!

[@LoveleighLoops]

So glad it was helpful!

[@Yoshino921]

thank you for this! been wondering about the difference of the two, and now I finally understood. 😊 getting an engrosser ruler first.

[@LoveleighLoops]

We're so glad that it helped! :)

[@ProximaCentauri88]

[@jessicacollins8049]

I just got mine. Im pleased how small they are. They fit in my pencil case.

[@LoveleighLoops]

They're the perfect size!

[@user-hk3gt3fm2n]

Great lesson

[@LoveleighLoops]

Thank you for watching, we're glad it helped! :)

[@madhuragupta3853]

Could you please post a video about the Ames lettering guidelines tool?

[@TheSmoochy2]

I love this video. You are fantabulous. Could you kindly tell where I can order this. This is a must have for me. Bo

[@BecauseHeLives39]

Amazing!

[@LoveleighLoops]

Thanks!

[@BecauseHeLives39]

Loveleigh Loops you’re welcome!!

[@tdotgirlsammygirlcomeup9329]

Would you say you can get the Koh-I-Noor Lettering Guide, Works with Pens and Pencils for a guide as well ?

[@judihopewell2499]

Isnt the dash line for caps height

[@Jan-bv3hx]

Hi, where can i get the glide ruler? already ordered the spencerian and embosser rulers...

[@MarionJInce]

On the Engrosser guide what is the 1A and 1D used for? Also, I think you could have equally spaced 55• angle lines by aligning the guide’s angled point edge to the lower scale, e.g. every 1/2”

[@LoveleighLoops]

Great idea!

[@manujagupta5466]

I see you using a mechanical pencil. Are there white 0.5mm leads available for these pencils? I checked out Fons and Porter, and Bohin. They're expensive

[@TheSmoochy2]

I ordered this from your vendor several. Weeks ago, the book store sent a message saying it was going to be mailed, but I never received it, are you still having courses? Thanks, Bo

[@jessicacollins8049]

I cant get this to work with any ruler on any paper. I have mostly graph paper and would like to use my notebooks. The Spencerian ruler keeps popping off the page. Ph well i guess its an operator error.

[@pfoster759]

How can you use these rulers for large and small brush pens?

[@LoveleighLoops]

For small brush pens, you could use the Engrosser Ruler and choose the 7mm x-height. For larger brush pens, you could use 6mm or 7mm and alternate the dots so that the lines are 12 or 14mm apart, which would be a more suitable size for large brush pens.

[@peterrichards9376]

What is the mechanical pencil with white lead you are using? Please would you tell exactly the specification odf the pencil with the wite lead. I cannot find a pencil with white lead online except for a pencil associated with sewing.

[@LoveleighLoops]

Hello! The lead is normal gray, it just looks white because of the contrast with black paper and light reflecting off it.

[@jenlelandmj]

How wide do you make the spaces? Is there a specific width marked on the ruler?

[@jenlelandmj]

Maybe the black lines that separate the x height options?

[@LoveleighLoops]

@@jenlelandmj Exactly! The video shows how :)

[@susanmeadows3706]

Where do you find this ruler? Couldn’t find on amazon. Imagine that....

[@LoveleighLoops]

Hi Susan! I got mine and John Neal Bookseller. Check the video description for the links. You can also find them at Paper & Ink Arts.

[@jasonlovi8745]

Has anyone ever used the 1mm x height?

[@LoveleighLoops]

It's so tiny!

[@debrabossert2153]

Where can you buy these online?

[@LoveleighLoops]

Here’s where I got them: www.johnnealbooks.com/product/set-ab-calligraphy-rulers

[@pierdolio]

Watching your demonstration makes me nervous 😬
