Quilt Ruler 4 1/2"x 8 1/2"

This 6-1/2 x 24-1/2 inch rectangle ruler by Rachel Cross from Creative Grids USA features easy-to-read black and white markings printed in 1 inch grids marked in 1/8 and 1/4 inch increments. Use the easy-to-read, black numbers (printed on white dots) and the 1/4 inch grip sides to cut whole inches. The 1/4 inch dashed lines printed on two adjoining sides aid in trimming seam allowances. Use the patented Turn-A-Round feature — designated by the easy to read, numerical white numbers (printed on black dots) and the 1/2 inch grip sides — to add the 1/2 inch seam allowance. Use the white 45 degree angle to trim half-square triangles in whole inch increments. Use the black 45 degree angle to trim half-square triangles in half inch increments. An additional black 45 degree line is placed so that two angles cross 1/4 inch away from the outside edge. Use these markings to square up flying geese units; squares set on point or mark cross-hatching. This easy to handle 4-1/2in wide ruler from Creative Grids® comes packed with the features you know and love from our rulers.

• Easy to read black and white markings printed in 1in grids marked in 1/8in and 1/4in increments.
• Use the black numbers printed on white dots and 1/4in grip side to cut whole inches.
• Use our exclusive Turn-a-Round feature to cut 1/2in increments by following the white numbers on black dots and 1/2in grip sides.
• The 1/4in dashed lines that are printed on two adjoining sides, aid in trimming seam allowances.
• Use the white and black 45 degree lines to trim half-square triangle blocks.
• An additional black 45 degree line is placed so that two cross 1/4in away from the outside edge. Use these to square up flying geese units, squares set on point, and to mark crosshatching.
• An additional 30/60 degree angled line also included.
• White horizontal and vertical lines are printed on the rectangle so the center of the ruler is easily distinguished. Use these lines to fussy-cut stripes and borders.
• Ruler slides easily over the fabric until pressure is applied. Then our exclusive grip holds the fabric in place while cutting, eliminating slipping and miss-cuts.
