Creative Grids Quilt Ruler, 5.5" Square

This 5-1/2in square ruler from Creative Grids® is a great companion for working with the precut fabrics on the market today. Easy to read black and white markings are printed in 1in grids marked in 1/8in and 1/4in increments. Use the black numbers printed on white dots and the 1/4in grip sides to cut whole inches. Use the Turn-a-Round feature to cut 1/2in increments by following the white numbers on black dots and 1/2in grip sides. The 1/4in dashed lines that are printed on two adjoining sides, aid in trimming seam allowances. White horizontal and vertical lines are printed on the square to show the center of the ruler. Use these lines to square up blocks based on four-patches, embroidered, and appliques blocks. A 45 degree diagonal line makes trimming half-square triangle blocks easy and accurate. The ruler slides easily over the fabric until pressure is applied. Then the exclusive grip holds the fabric in place while cutting, eliminating slipping and miss-cuts.
