Description of πŸ“ Creative Grids Quilt Ruler 8-1/2in x 18-1/2in - Perfect for Precise Quilting and Crafting - CGR818

This 8-1/2 x 18-1/2 inch rectangle ruler is a workhorse. It is the perfect size to span the most popular size of rotary cutting mats. And, since it is 25% smaller than the original 24-1/2 inch version, it is easier to manipulate. The wide width makes it the perfect choice to square up corners and borders. It features easy-to-read black and white markings printed in 1in grids marked in 1/8 and 1/4 inch increments. Use the black numbers (printed on white dots) and the 1/4 inch grip sides to cut whole inches, while the white numbers (printed on black dots) and the 1/2 inch grip sides 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. The ruler slides easily over the fabric until pressure is applied. Then, our exclusive gripper holds the fabric in place while cutting, eliminating slipping and miss-cuts!. Total Size - 8-1/2in x 18-1/2in.

Excellent ruler

I love this large size ruler. I wish they had had these rulers 20 years ago. Glad I found out about it on YouTube. Love the fact that all I have to do is scan the ruler and it takes me straight to a video on how to use it. I would highly recommend these Creative Grid lines to anyone, both family and friends.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Best suited for left-handers

This line seems to be more suitable for left-handers. I had to double check that they didn't accidentally send me a left-handed version. It's not the easiest ruler to use - I bought it for its useful size but found I don't use it because the markings are so busy, not at all intuitive, so confusing and not positioned in the most appropriate way . I would not buy again. Give me my good old unpretentious non-slip matte Olfa. I just wish there were more sizes to choose from.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • thin

Great find!

As I get older, I get annoyed with long 6" x 24" rulers, even if I put the handles on my back. I saw this set of Creative Grids in a YouTube video and decided to give it a try. I LOVE the size of this ruler at 8 x 18 inches. I just fold the fabric and the cuts are more precise. No stretch, no slippage, more fabric fits under the width of the ruler and my hand fits completely on the ruler. The markings on the ruler are great, as with all Creative Grids, and visually it's easier for me to see the
