Does anyone use this kind of ruler for cutting?
I went to an put-of-the-way quilt shop yesterday yand saw the owners using this tool.
Does anyone on the board use this?

I haven't seen a ruler like that before. Was she using it with her ovary cutter? I thinkI would be afraid of carving up the metal with the cutter and dulling my blade and chipping the ruler. I can really see it for squaring up a quilt though, excellent for that with being able to order a long length.

Looks like a mat or poster cutting ruler like they would use in a sign shop. I really can't see from the picure, but the edges of these type rulers are usually set up for an exacto knife rather than a rotary cutter. If they are using it in the shop it must work with the rotaries. If you miss you ruin your cutting blade.

They were using a rotary cutter with it. They didn't let me try it out, so I don't know how it felt, compared with plastic rulers.
I want to try it out, but I wonder if the inability to see through it will bw a problem.
