Needs a little helper for straight rotary cuts

Lightweight "clear" plastic. A small protrusion to grab the edge of the cutting mat to "lock" it in place to prevent the ruler from slipping slightly while cutting when using a rotary tool to help with straight cuts.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Some cons

The most stable line!

LOVE ❤️ of the OLipfa line. The edge of the protrusion fits snugly against the edge of your cutting mat and is the perfect way to ensure your ruler stays straight as you cut. No slip or slip. Always a stable ruler. Genius!

Pros
  • Only positive
Cons
  • Weak adjusted

very very very satisfied and I am so happy that I got a direct! I had to send 5 pieces back to a large retail store because they weren't printed correctly! I love my older one and it says 'Made in the USA' right on it. They are not made in the USA.

Great idea the edge of the lip but it needs to be square to get a straight cut. . .

I like these rulers when I'm lucky enough to find one with just enough edge to line up and make a precise cut. My other is longer, 24 inches, and was straighter than this one. My husband said he could glue a piece of wood along the edge to line it up, which I will probably do. This is my second 18 inch. . .the first arrived broken and was quickly replaced.

Perfect! It's that easy to use.

I have had this line for over 20 years and I needed a shorter line for my quilted holdall. There are reviews saying the ruler is "off". Mine just arrived and I tested it and it fits perfectly. Given that the company has a representative to quickly replace broken rulers, I thought I'd add that you can get a perfectly correct ruler. Much luck. I love these rulers for their ability to stay steady on longer cuts and I love the clear, easy to read markings on this ruler. I will be using this many…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Extremely inaccurate

Was hoping it would be great. My favorite quilting ruler is O'Lipfa #13518 so I ordered this one thinking the extra lip would be even better. Using the tab for its intended purpose - "hooking" over the edge of the cutting mat - creates a mess. From point 0 to 18 inches the difference is 1/8 inch. Four cuts - They are offset by 1/2 inch, which is unacceptable when quilting. I don't know if the lip is misaligned or the calibrations are printed. I won't get her back. I'll ask hubby to take it to…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Will write later
