I recently purchased a Quilter's Select 6 1/2" X 24" ruler and I love it. I'm left handed and markings run both ways so I don't have to turn it around or think about which number to use. It also has a coating on the bottom than keeps it from slipping.

Well I had to make a decision. The responses were mixed, but since I have a 6" x 24" - not CG, I decided to go for the 8 1/2" x 24". Was worried about it being too cumbersome and my real estate is limited. Hope I won't be sorry.

I love my 8 1/2 x 24 ruler. just got a newer one recently. kept my old one but i'd glued a guard on it and made it hard to see some of the measurements. 6 or 6 1/2 would be too small for me. but it's your choice in what you do the most.

i'm not sure i could explain why but i usually reach for my 8-1/2" x 24-1/2" Creative Grids whenever i need to cut from a piece or stack that's longer than 12". it might be the fact that it's heavier than my 4-1/2" by 24-1/2". the extra weight makes it less likely to slip.
i didn't know CG made an 8-1/2" x 12-1/2". i will need to get one of those. it will come in handy when i need to cut or check strips and blocks wider than 6-1/2".
