I use that size. Mine is clear with black lines - very easy to read. I bought it at my LQS... not sure of the brand

Sometimes I find it is not because of my ruler I am having a hard time seeing. The Olfa green mat especially at night is hard to see fabric contrast with the mat.

Is what neon.

My 6x14 ruler is neon green. My mat is just green. Next one will be a color. I wish I could have gotten the pink one when Olfa was selling them in support of Breast Cancer.

I often wished that I had a 6 1/2"x24" ruler. Did not know that they existed. Will keep an eye out.

The one that I borrowed from DD is from Creative Grid, clear ruler with black markings .... I don't like the coloring, but hey! It worked for what I was trying to do, and I was mighty thankful to have it at my disposal. <wave>

i love all the rulers i own from the Wrights EZ line.

i have one frosted ruler which i think is fabulous, too.

i am not a fan of omnigrid rulers because the lines are so thick it's hard to cut accurately.

i have just checked overstock.com

the olfa frosted seem to be priced better than the wrights. that surprises me because wrights are always the most reasonably priced at every other site i've ever checked.

shop around. i think you'd like the olfa frosted best, but if the wrights you find fit your budget better, you won't be disappointed.

I recently got a green one and I can't read anything with it. The yellow ones - no problem.
