Review on πŸ“ TrueCut 9.5x9.5-Inch Ruler by Kelly Caballes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Does the job but could do with improvement

Bought this along with the cutter knife hoping it would cut 8-10 layers of fabric at a more precise 90 degree angle. With so much fabric, it's difficult to maintain that true 90 degree. I was hoping this ruler with a rail and cutter would help. Well, something like that. The cutter on the rail does not rotate like the cutter and ruler without the rail. This ruler is so light that it slides easily over it. More like a toy. That's about half the weight of your regular 3 x 18 ruler. Trust me, I've checked. I also have no idea why they have all those holes. They may be useful to someone, but I don't see the point in them. I can only surmise that this is because this ruler is injection molded and not cut from a single sheet. There are products that can be attached to the back of the rulers to keep them in place, but all those holes leave a pretty narrow area for attaching these products. So yes, I can make more precise 90 degree cuts in 8-10 layers on smaller pieces of fabric, but not on wider pieces of fabric. I think I'll try again to figure out how to modify my Friskers ruler with a knife attached to accept a 60mm blade.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
