Default Slidelock Ruler

My Valentines present just arrive today been wanting one forever. Love it, how did I quilt before without it. Do those that have them have both sizes, thinking of getting the small one I love it so much. Does anyone else have both sizes, I just got the large one to start off

I have both sizes and I love them both. One of my best quilting purchases ever.

I have both sizes and love them. I use the smaller one all the time, especially when cutting smaller sized pieces. Well worth the money. There is a tutorial online that is very helpful.

I have both sizes. I won't cut without one or at least a cut resistant glove. Why do so many use a rotary cutter with no safety tool to prevent a cutting accident? One guild member scoffed at me for always using the Slidelock at workshops. She said she never got cut because she was careful and paid attention to what she was doing. An hour later an ambulance was called as she sliced her finger to the bone while cutting strips. She got a staph infection and almost lost her finger. That's a big price to pay for being so stubborn.

I agree that these rulers are the best resource to keep you fingers from getting cut. I have both sizes and use them in conjunction with creative grid rulers.

I have the smaller one and use it exclusively. Love it. Small price to pay for such safety, imho.

Just waiting for it to go on sale. Little pricey for my budget.
