rulers
 

where do you buy your quilting rulers and squares? i about had sticker shock when i priced one at local shop today!

I just love Creative Grids and they are only sold (I think) at LQS. Like Tartan, I wait for sales and coupons. Or I put them on my holiday wish list for hubby.

JoAnn's carries omnigrid, you can use a coupon or order online.

I use Omnigrip and some older Omnigrid rulers. Love them. Just try to stick with one brand.

Try Wal-Mart. Online they have lots of quilty things.

I mostly buy at Hancock Fabrics or Joan's when they have their quilting supplies on sale. I love it when they are 50% off. That's how I buy my cutting mats too. And scissors....

Creative Grid only for me. I buy them either through the local Mennonite quilt shop or through the Yahoo group josewing (a group buying group, no cost to join).

If I see a ruler on clearance price I buy it if I need it or not. Most of the rulers I buy at regular price are usually $30 or less. If there is a specialty ruler to go with a pattern or book I will buy it.

Hobby Lobby with 40% off one non sale item. I received the discount on the $62 Olfa cutting mat!:)

Ditto. I buy with coupons or on sale. Went to one store and showed them a coupon for the same thing at 30% off. They gave me 40% beats asking or moving on down the road.

How does this work?

Check prices on eBay and Amazon too--I found a great deal on my last large square (16.5") ruler on Amazon.

I'm for Creative Grids Rulers which can be bought on Amazon and sometimes you can get good deals on eBay too.

I have bought all my Omnigrid and Omnigrip rulers at JAF when they are on sale. I agree with nativetexan and I have stuck with just one brand. Creative Grids is just too pricy for my skinny budget.

I just recently discovered Creative Grids. Love, love, love them. I buy mine thru Amazon.

My favorite one is a 12 and 1/2 omnigrip that I bought at JoAnn. The omnigrip(the green ones) Don't slip as much as the omnigrid so I would recommend them instead. They are expensive, but you only have to buy them one time unless you're careless and step on them.

I bought mine at JoAnn's and Hobby Lobby (over time) with one of their 50% off coupons.

Same here at Joann's in store or online with 50% off.

I foolishly bought a ton of rulers and seldom use but a few...shop wisely or you can spend a ton of money, struggle to store them and then watch most of them collect dust

I know I have about 50 or maybe more rulers. I use them all at one time or another. It's nice to have the exact ruler I need when I need it. I have them on a peg board so I don't have to search. Since I use the Go more I haven't bought any new rulers in a long time.

I generally wait for sales and my preferred brand is the Creative Grids. I have seen some of the online shops have them on sale.

If it's carried by Jo-ann's I would definitely use a coupon. Got my last cutting mat that way. Having said that though, I spent $25 (gasp) on a special ruler to trim HST's from my local quilt shop. I cringed when I bought it, but I'll have to say...I LOVE that thing. Best specialty purchase I've ever made.

JoAnn's or Hancock's but only with a coupon.

What is the name of this Group? I just searched for josewing and can't find it. I am interested and would like to join.
Thanks,
Julie

I too Like Creative grid rulers. I purchase them either online or at the LQS on sale.

So many family memeber have no idea what to buy people for Birthday, Mothers Day, Christmas and other event. Give them all a list...also Joann's has the 50 percent off coupons.

I buy my bacis rulers at Joanns with a coupon This weekend they are running a 60%off coupon avaliable to print on line. If you want "specialities " rulwer then you may need to buy them at LQS or maybe on line . Joanns seems to carry more types of ruler than HL and Walmart is really not cheaper than Joann with coupons. I just bought a 8" square revolvong mat for $18- 60% at joanns. What a deal!!!!!

I also love the Creative Grids rulers, and whenever they were on sale, I would buy one.

Unless it is one I have to have immediately for a certain project, I wait until Missouri Star Quilt Company has a sale on one (templates mostly)or I have a coupon from JoAnn's or Hancock. Never pay full retail price.

I agree, Creative Grids works the best for me. I have found them on Ebay as well at LQS. There isn't anything to confuse my eyes and the grippers are priceless. I find them to be very accurate as well. Diane

Where ever I find what I want....on sale if possible. I like to get rulers at Joann's fabrics and use my coupon.

I buy mine at WalMart same rulers less money

The good thing is they last forever!

Got a 60% off coupon for. Joanns in mail Sat and was able to get a 4 pack of sizes I wanted for only $17! Wow!Thanks for the suggestion!

I used to buy a lot from Ebay but most sellers want you to use Paypal, I can't afford Paypal's interest rates so don't use Ebay anymore sad too as there is always something I want for a good price. :(

Me too I want to join :)

This link doesn't work. I did go to Yahoo Groups and search for JOSewing and that didn't work either.
Would love o find this group that does group buys.

Hi, Boonville Missouri. I do a lot of my shopping in Boonville, Indiana.

If you have a JoAnn's wait until you get a 60% of coupon. Walmart is considerably less, too.

Warning--------buy all the same brand. I drove myself crazy trying to use two different brands. One was a tad off of the other rulers I had.
