feel you on the yellow markings I purchased because readily available at joanns and I use optima mostly which they no longer make but the markings on it are similar to creative grids so the yellow is annoying

If you don't get Creative Grids, athletic tape in a few places works really well to prevent sliding.

I got rid of all my yellow line rulers. They are the worst.

I have had 2 sizes of Quilter's Rule rulers that I love(d). One was 6.5 X 14" which I got when I first started quilting in the 90's and which I literally wore out a number of years ago - I don't think they make that size anymore. The other I still have which is a 6.5 X 24" and which is still going strong. The extra half inch width comes in very handy! I plan to check out the Creative Grid ones next time I shop for a ruler, though.

Love the Olfa frosted rulers!

Love the Olfa frosted, so easy to read on any color fabric!

I, too, like Creative Grids for ease of reading. And I would go with 8" or wider if available and it's in your budget.

I will consider Creative Grids on my next purchase but I like the 6x24 size.

Totally agree wouldn't use any other.

Another plug for Creative Grids. Not only do they have non slip grip to make them safer and more accurate, but the numbers/lines are done in dark and light so they are easily visible on all types of fabric.
