Great product. Lousy delivery.

I use it to square up quilts or blocks and it is superb. Arrived as stated. I have used a similar one over 20 years. The new markings are even better. Delivery was wrong! Said it was "in mail box. A 20 x 20 in an even bigger box did NOT fit in mail box and left IN THE SUN. It is PLASTIC. Thankfully we rescued it. Normally they put our deliveries on the porch where there is a nice big white heavy box to receive by the front door. I hate not trusting the delivery.

Pros
  • I wanted an 8" square and got this, it’s fine just not exactly what I wanted. I use it though
Cons
  • The ruler is thin and may snap or break easily

Great size, stays in place

Besides the wonderfully large size of this ruler, 24 x 9 1/2, it stays firmly in place when cutting fabric. Used it for trimming large quilt blocks. It didn't slip once while cutting. So easy to read too. There is a green translucent stripe over the 1/2 inch area at the end of the ruler. I often mistake the 1/2 addition on other rulers, this makes it clear which end is measuring a full inch vs. the extra half inch. Far less likely to make a cutting error. Omnigrid is an excellent brand. Highly…

Pros
  • I like it because it does not slip as other rulers do.
Cons
  • Not ideal for patterns that require seam allowances larger than 1/4 inch

Perfect for my quilting needs

This was delivered fast and I really needed it because my free hand measuring and cutting skills leave a great deal to be desired. I used it to square up blocks for a quilt and this made the job so much easier.

Pros
  • This is the easiest ruler for me to read and work with.
Cons
  • Not multi-functional, only designed for quilting and sewing

Where have you been all my quilting life

Helpful for cutting out blocks for appliqué and also for squaring blocks up and trimming to size. My only disappointment was that although the numbers are repeated twice for both north-south and east-west directions they were both times repeated in the same direction. Having the measurements repeated but in opposite directions would have been even more helpful.

Pros
  • Love this tool for acccurate cutting
Cons
  • Can easily break under pressure

Great sized for piecing and travel case

I've been fighting with larger rulers for piecing projects and this one solves that problem nicely. It also is a great size to slip into my stitching project bag for on-the-go sewing.

Pros
  • I love Omnigrip rulers. They are easy to read.
Cons
  • Not suitable for use with rotary cutters

4inch ruler best in my review

I liked this product very well and have been using it alot for my sewing projects. It came on time as stated and in very good condition.

Pros
  • Exactly what I needed to square my blocks.
Cons
  • Can be difficult to store due to it's size and shape

Simple, Perfect Size for me and Relatively Affordable

Great size for my everyday needs / use of a ruler. Not cluttered by by any angle markings that can cover up the grid's measurement markings. Affordable. I have to say that everytime I buy one of these quilting rulers I wonder what the profit margin is like on these. I mean, it's a piece of acrylic that has been printed on. A 6"x12" ruler was a good deal at $10. (I'm only comparing on Walmart's prices. I'm not sure what these sell for in a brick and mortar store.)

Pros
  • I have used this ruler for years, this one is great
Cons
  • It's hard to read

Why didn't I buy this years ago?

I love this ruler! I've been a quilter for almost twenty years now and have always used a 3"x18" ruler that tends to slip a lot. Finally bought this and I wonder why I never did it sooner. This makes my life so much easier. It doesn't slip and it's so easy to hold onto.

Pros
  • Everything you could want in a ruler: straight edge, numbers, grip.
Cons
  • Inconsistent measurements across the ruler's length

Love these. They saved me when cutting out quilting blocks.

They are accurate, easy to read and I have bad sight, especially close up. Used mostly for cutting quilt blocks. Very handy tools.

Pros
  • Love this very easily read and works well
Cons
  • Not lightweight, which could make it difficult to transport

great rulers! good for me

I have several of these rulers in different sizes and shapes. So easy to use with a rotary cutter. They are my "go to" for cutting quilt pieces.

Pros
  • It’s a handy size to have in the quilting studio
Cons
  • Can easily slip on slick surfaces

great quality for my opinion

I still have to learn to use this for a new project, yet this is durable, easy to read and non-slip. Delivered as expected.

Pros
  • I like the fact that these rulers ate easy to read and they are non slip.
Cons
  • Expensive compared to other ruler options

Good ruler for fabric cutting

It is great but not non slip. It’s just like all the other rulers from this company. Very good but can slip. Not recommended for use with thicker or heavier fabrics!

Pros
  • Nice size and easy to use
Cons
  • Not recommended for use with thicker or heavier fabrics

Great square ruler in my review

I just got back into quilting, and experienced quilters recommend Omnigrid rulers. This five-inch square is great. The ruler was also cheaper here than in some craft stores.

Pros
  • Made cutting quilt squares quick and easy.
Cons
  • Shipping can take longer than expected
