I know this has been posted before, but for the life of me I can't find the post. This morning I broke my long straight ruler I used for cutting fabric. Previously, someone had posted about one they loved that several people commented on (all I can remember is they said it tended to be a little more costly). Any thoughts on what is the best one to purchase? Thanks for your thoughts.

Re: What is the best quilting ruler?
I hardly ever use my 6 by 24" ruler since I got my June Tailor Shape Cut. It could have been that or it could have been someone mentioning Creative Grids rulers. People seem to like them more than Omnigrid.K is for Karen 😊​ Albuquerque, NM..................

Re: What is the best quilting ruler?
I love the Creative Grid rulers! I like the non-slip dots that are embedded in the rulers. Here's the link to their website. I you have a quilt shop nearby......call & ask if they have them. That way you could see them before buying.

Here is a previous thread about rulers.

Re: What is the best quilting ruler?
I just bought one of the new Omnigrid rulers...I think it is 6 x 8 anyways, I don't like the new neon grid they have switched to. I can't see certain increments like i did on the older yellow ruler. (They put a big blob on one of the lines I need to see.) I guess I need to think about it because I need a new 6 x 24 ruler too. Since I found that tape keeps them from slipping, I really am more concerned about how easy it is to read the numbers.

Re: What is the best quilting ruler?
Martelli based out of Pensacola, Florida!!!! I love their products. I found them at the sewing expo and bought the whole package. I have called and ordered more.
Their rulers have some magical property that prevents them from slipping on your fabric. It really works. You can put a square template on the fabric and scoot it all over your cutting board and the template and fabric stay in place--the template never slips on the fabric. They have long rulers, squares, circles, apple core, christmas stocking, awareness ribbon, hexagon, and more. Every time a friend sees my rulers/templates, they order them.
