I suggest getting a medium 9.5" square ruler as your second ruler.
As for the brand ... I can only say that I CANNOT recommend the "Quilt in day" square rulers. The reason is that the horizontal and vertical lines stop at the center diagonal - they don't go all the way through. So when your trying to measure a 2" strip it's difficult to see if the 2" line is accurate to the full length of the square. I have two of her rulers and I hate them.
