📏 O'Lipfa 16318 Ruler with Lip Edge: A Trusted 3 x 18-Inch Tool for Enhanced Precision Review

I already have a quilting ruler, but it's better because it has a "edge" on one end that makes it safer when I'm cutting multiple layers of fabric.

This was a replacement for my 18 inch O'lipfa Ruler. The gauge marks were worn and unreadable. It is perfect for measuring sewing and gifts. This brand lives up to its description. Love it. I recommend it to anyone who sews.

I like this line. Unfortunately, this ruler had a jagged edge. Revain sent me a new one and it's better but still uneven. My original is there and I'm wondering if the quality has gone down. I can't make an accurate cut unless the edge of the edging is square.

After borrowing a lip liner from a friend and finding it very easy to work with, I decided to get my own. My friend was only 2 inches wide and 12 inches long and was easy to maneuver and use. This one is slightly larger but very handy and useful, and the lip, which was the main attraction anyway, lets the ruler act like a T-square, making perpendicular cuts easier.

I've bought it twice and both are defective. The first one didn't catch my eye before use, so I left it. But I made sure to check the second one and it is NOT aligned. You can actually LOOK at the folded edge and see that it isn't folded straight. So when you put the edge of the lips on the edge of the mat, it comes off at an oblique angle. I have other lip liners that I bought locally and they're fine, so I'm familiar with Olfa (and generally pretty happy with her). I just had bad luck online.
