I love them. Why don't you consider selling them to other quilters who really like them?

Occasionally we have "Trash to Treasure" at our guild meetings, and we get to buy what others don't want now.

I had one and I even tried the Olfas (somewhat easier to read with the frosting), but they are inconsistent with the 1/2" (some have, some don't),so I decided to stay with my Creative Grid rulers.

Just don't buy one with black lines. I find them hard to see through.

I actually prefer the Omnigrids for just that reason. I still struggle with my scant 1/4 at times, so by adjusting how I cut the fabrics, I'm coming out perfect now!

I do too. I use the ruler but I turn my mat over to where it is a solid green. All the yellow lines drive me nuts.

Do you have a hard time with measuring? Sewing straight? Piecing correctly?

Every quilt I make ends up being crooked; I blame it on lack of depth perception due to mono vision. I end up ripping everything out and starting over.

How do you adjust? I measure and measure and measure and line up and cut/sew on "the line" and I'm still crooked. HELP!
I've had mono vision all my life. Now, I do wear glasses so maybe that is why I don't have problems.

I don't use them at all. I don't like them for that reason. I have some, but rarely use them. I like the Easy Quilt ones by Sharon Halgren. Wear these out!!!!!

I also have trouble reading the yellow lines.

I wonder if it possible to have an optometrist set you up with glasses that have correction in only one lens or both so that your vision in both eyes is the same for sewing and cutting. As i get older my eyes are changing and it is unnerving to say the least! Good luck!
I've tried; didn't work too well.
