good grip; Love the addition of 0.5 " to these rulers

I have several Creative Grids cutting rulers. I love the non-slip backing that hugs the fabric so it doesn't move when using the disc cutter. (You still need to hold the ruler firmly to prevent slipping, but not as much as handleless rulers.) These rulers have all the necessary increments needed for cutting when creating a quilt. I especially like the ".5" addition to these rulers; After using them for a while, it was very nice to have this measurement since quilters so often have to cut in 1/2 inch increments for seam allowances. This particular little rectangular ruler comes in very handy when you are making smaller blocks and have a table to sew or cut (FYI my favorite rulers are 6" x 12" 6.5" x 6.5" 8 .5" x 8.5" inches and this one. Square rulers make it easier to line up the blocks!)

Pros

Use patented Turn-A-Round feature characterized by easy-to-read numeric white numbers (printed on black dots) and 1/2" grip sides to turn 1/ Add 2 inches for seam allowance. Use the white 45 degree corner to trim the half square triangles in inch increments.

Cons
