I use the Omnigrid all the time. Nice variety of sizes and easy to use (for me).

Nope I've got two - one at each end of my cutting table.

I have a couple of Omnigrid, and a few from other makers. I don't have a problem with using them.

I don't like the Quilter's Rule ones at all anymore. Those have the thickest lines.

I had a ruler once - and I can't remember the brand - where the lines were off about 1/8 of an inch.

I too have mono vision and trouble with the yellow and green lines. I have a much easier time with my Gingher rulers. You might want to try those. :)

I use them all the time and have not problem with them have many of them, but my favorite rulers are by Nifty Notions quilt for the cure rulers designed by Kaye England. the are clear with pink and blue lines with what they call line-of-site marked at all intersections which looks like a little circle you can see the edge of your fabric so you know you are lined up on the edge.

Thanks for the info. I'll try.
