Review on Omnigrid R24 6 Inch By 24 Inch Quilters Ruler by Summer Hendricks

My old fabric ruler was flimsy and the top plastic was peeling off (unfortunately it was the numbers printed on it) so I ordered a replacement. It's far superior in quality to my old one - much thicker/stronger/tougher and never seems to have a problem with peeling. That's a great size. I have a pattern that I needed to cut into something 18 inches long and since it's 24 inches long I can easily do it. I'm using mostly black fabric for this project and you can lay it over the black fabric and see the lines. But you can *also* put it on a light fabric and see the lines since the mesh is two-toned. I don't mind that the colors are black and yellow; both are easy enough to see (and I don't have very good eyesight). I'm a bit scared of rotary cutters, so I mainly use them for line drawing with (washable) fabric markers. But it's sturdy enough and thick enough to use with a rotary cutter next to it. I have a fairly low level of experience so I'll stick with squares and rectangles for now and that's more than enough for this purpose. It doesn't have a non-slip surface (and rubber feet) so you'll need to apply some pressure to it when cutting or marking. But it didn't slip for me. (It's good to have a stable, flat work surface. Use a dining table instead of a TV stand, for example.) In any case, it's a lot bigger than what I had before and it's easy to use, so am i happy with that.
