Doesn't stick to fabric

These rulers are expensive and are meant to help when cutting fabric, but this length didn't stick to the fabric as promised and the fabric shifted even though I ran my hand along the ruler as I cut .

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Too long to wait

Revainrating 4 out of 5

An essential item for cutting fabrics.

I love this line. Just the right thickness to make it strong. Good grip on the back so it stays in place while cutting, although I still use a bit of weight on the end when cutting the fabric strips widthwise just to be on the safe side. The markings are easy to read in both black and white, making them easy to see on both light and dark fabrics.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Disappear

Creative Grids rulers are the best!

I have one, but I bought it as a gift for my DIL. Most of my rulers are Creative Grids as they have textured round circles on the back which hold them in place better than other brands when using a disc cutter. When you're cutting fabric, you don't want it to slip or you'll end up with a bad cut (maybe even your finger!)

Pros
  • Excellent price
Cons
  • There are nuances

Imposter Quilting Ruler

I was wondering why this ruler still doesn't stick to the fabric as well as some of my other Creative Grids rulers. Well I just found out while trying to order a diamond ruler they do not sell or ship C/G as fake rulers are sent instead of real ones. Now I'm stuck with a ruler that has almost no hooked feet.

Pros
  • Brilliant Made
Cons
  • Compatibility

Training required

Great product, well made. I like the fact that it doesn't tend to slip when placed on paper or fabric. However, if you're used to 6x24, 6.5x24.5 rulers (the extra half inch is essential for some projects), take note of your first use measurements to make sure you adjust to the change. We tend to work on autopilot with our tools. Slow down with it first. It's a little bit different.

Pros
  • Easy to use - the ruler glides easily across fabric until pressure is applied. Our exclusive grip then holds the fabric in place as you cut, preventing slipping and sliding!
Cons
  • Something different

Excellent visibility for precise cutting

I'm a machine quilter and I'm sorry it's taken so long to update my favorite rotary cutting ruler. The lines of the Creative Grid are clearly visible and the ruler does not shift or shift even with light pressure. Many of my other rulers have thick yellow or black lines that make precise cuts difficult. Precise cuts can make a big difference in quilting. The cuts are just as important as the 1/4" seam line. Great product and I will be replacing my other lines over time.

Pros
  • Easy to spot - the ruler also has a 30/60 degree angle. White horizontal and vertical lines are printed on the rectangle for easy identification of the center.
Cons
  • Some bugs

I'm a fairly new quilter. I exchanged everything.

I'm a fairly new patchworker I've replaced all my rulers with Creative Grids They are much easier to read and use with a fabric handle I've had issues in the past with other rulers I haven't used had a single problem. I've been using them for several months and use them almost every day. I would like Creative Grids to provide more demos of their custom rulers and quilting ideas on You Tube. I learned to sew on YouTube (Missouri Star and Eleanor Burns, Nancy Zieman , thank you (and others)).

Pros
  • This 6-1/2" x 24-1/2" rectangular ruler has easy-to-read black and white markings printed in 1" grid in 1/8" and 1/4" increments
Cons
  • Slightly torn
