your favorite quilting rulers?
I did a search but didn't come up with anything. One of my rulers needs replacing (6 by 24), so I was looking at options. Most of mine are Omnigrid. I've heard some rav reviews on Creative Grid--Joannes doesn't carry them from what I researched. There's an Olfa Frost too--a few loved that one.
So--what's your favorite?

Fiskars is my personal favorite - I like thin lines on a ruler and find some of the other brands too thick. I am not a fan of the bright yellow of Omnigrid either but I know a lot of quilters like them for that exact reason!

I love the Olfa frosted rulers - very thin lines, and easy to read no matter what colour fabric you're using. They're also quite un-slippy, because of the frosted backs.
My second favourite is Creative Grids (a very close second). I find them visually a bit more cluttered, but they also have nice fine markings and don't slip. I buy them for any size/shape I want that Olfa doesn't make.
BTW, Michaels (at least in Canada) carries the Olfas if you want to see one up close. They also have good coupons.

Olfa frost -- wish I'd bought several sizes at the time.
That Patchwork Place Bias 8 square (which to my enormous regret they've stopped making. )
