Best Quilt Rulers
#21
I love my Omnigrid 18" ruler with the little thing at the top that just rests on the edge of a mat. It holds fantastically and I just told my friend when we go out for a quilting binge that I am going to buy another one, just in case they are discontinued (and you know they will discontinue an 18" Omnigrid before they will discontinue an 8" Phillips screwdriver)!!!

Omnigrid are my favorite. To start and stay with the same brand is one key. Accurate cutting is another key. But I have found in the past year and a half STARCH is the best thing I do. Starch every piece BEFORE I cut anything makes for better cutting, better piecing, less pinning (no pinning) , better quilts. I starch and press dry every piece stiff before I do anything else. Using the same machine start to finish makes a big difference. Pressing carefully makes a difference, an accurate 1/4 inch seam is also very important. Maybe some of this will help you.

Creative Grid if my favorite too and plan to replace my Olfa rulers are they need to be replaced. I find the Olfa rulers' printing tend to wear off over the years (and I've only been quilting for 6 years). I also like the grip on the Creative Grid rulers plus the black lines seem t work better than any other color.

[QUOTE=DogHouseMom;5477617]Just recently purchased a 12" square creative grid because I HATE my "Quilt in a Day" 12" ruler - USELESS!!
I bought a few of these rulers and love them. I have the smaller ones. They are a dream to work with. Only I own more Omnigrid rulers and they are large and I have to use those (dang!). I wish I could afford to buy only Creative Grid rulers. Then I'd know everything would come out perfectly fine.
