This ruler is a handy 8-1/2in wide so you can cut wider strips and squares, but also has all of the features you’ve come to love in our Creative Grids® 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. • Scan the QR Code printed on the ruler to view a tutorial of these features and to see available patterns made using this rectangle.
