Odd Creative Grids Ruler I Really Like
Some time ago, I got the Creative Grids Yard Stick Ruler. I questioned whether this was a good idea or just an impulse buy (I really like the Creative Grids Rulers) Anyway, it turns out, I have used it over and over. It is much straighter than my old wooden yard sticks. It was a pleasant surprise seeing how often it has turned out to be just the right tool.

It is perfect to mark grid lines on a quilt top for quilting. I use the 6ft long 2 1/2 straight edge sold at Lowe's for $12. It's metal and will last forever. All of my quilting is straight line grid work. I also bought the 4ft one too. I use them all the time.

Never have had a problem with either fingers or stability. Because of the no-slip edge, nothing moves once I apply pressure and walk my fingers along the ruler. Most recently, I cut bias strips and it was a breeze. Measuring batting, straightening up quilt before binding, etc. I just keep getting surprised each time I reach for it.
