Quilting rulers
 

I am in need of a new 24 inch ruler. Do any of you have suggestions on which to buy? 6x24 or 8x24? Which brand? Anything you especially like or hate about certain brands? I am currently using one with neon yellow markings and find it very hard to read. Any thoughts welcome!
TIA

Whichever width you buy, get a Creative Grids ruler! Easy to read and non-slip!

I like the Creative Grids 8.5 X 24. Thin lines, and the wider width makes it easy to line up on the fold for accurate cuts. It also has a textured back that keeps it from slipping. Many people find the CG rulers confusing, however, because of the additional half inch and also they have measurements going from right to left and left to right so make sure you look at it before you decide.

The Olfa Frosted rulers are nice. I like Creative Grids too. I use the 6 x 24 as much as the 8 x 24. If you can only have one, get the 8 x 24.

Creative Grids are all I use. Really like them.

I like Creative Grids and Olfa the most. Of the two, I think I prefer Olfa.

If you can afford the price on the Creative Grid ruler, I would get that one. I just recently bought a 4.5" square and it doesn't slide at all.

I got the creative grid 8.5 by 24 and I love it I am slowly replacing all my rulers with the creative grid ones.

Thanks, everyone! I will be looking into the Olfa and Creative Grids rulers. I think I have decided on the size: 8x24. I don't mind a "learning curve" on learning to use the ruler, as long as I can see the markings. There is just something about the yellow markings that my eyes don't like! Going to a quilt show next Friday, so hopefully I will get to look at a few different rulers.
