Other than my long cutting ruler, the Fons and Porter HST square up ruler gets a lot of use, and gets those babies perfect. It takes a lot of time, though and now I am starting to avoid patterns with HST...even though I love the designs they make.
|
My favorite is my Omnigrip 2 1/2 x 12 1/2 ruler. Also have a 6 x 24 that I use a lot.
|
The most--my Fiskars 6 x 12". In fact, I'm noticing that some of the lines are wearing off--have had it for a long time! I like the Fiskars as the orange lines show up on almost every color of fabric that I use.
Used for--a lot. It's not awkward to handle and fits well on the folded yardage. I have a longer one for use on longer cutting such as squaring up a quilt but the 12"er is a handy length. |
I use my creative grids 7 1/2 by 7 1/2 for squaring most of my smaller blocks. Of course, I use my 6 1/2 by 4 or 8 1/2 by 24 for my strip cutting. Then mostly b 7 1/2 by 7 1/2. I have 2, as I have rounded one of the corners on my first one.

I have a lot of rulers...I do use my 6.5 by 24 a lot but also use the June Taylor strip cutting ruler a lot. I am just now starting to use the EZ triangle and 6" block since I am trying to do Bonnie Hunter Mystery quilt this year.

6"x24"... it's large enough to square up the end of a bolt, or any width of fabric, when folded. Also great for cutting strips the width of fabric. Second most used is my 3"18". Handy for cross cuts of strips, plus many other uses. I have many other rulers (many squares and some triangles) but use those two the most.
|
I prefer the little ones for piecing, a Quilt Sense 3 x 9" and a Creative Grids 3 1/2 x 12 1/2"
|
I use my 6"x24" almost exclusively. Any others are for special projects.
|
I'm a June Taylor Shape Cut junkie! I use it for almost everything. I really like the 12"x18" for cutting lots of pieces from WOF strips.
|
I use my Salem 6x12 all the time. Has nice thin lines, not too much stuff printed on it so it is easy to see too.
