I know that you should use the same rule when you cut fabric for quilts. There are so many brands out there. Do you have one brand you stick to or one brand that you keep coming back to. If so what brand is it and why do you like it.

I don't have one brand, but I do try my best to use the same one for an entire quilt.

I use creative grid. It has builtin non-slip dots. I love them.

I have a few different brands, but I find I like the EZ Quilt ones the best. They have a great variety and they are readily available at Walmart for a decent price. I use the EZ Angle, the Tri-Recs, EZ Rule Junior and couple others I can't think of right off. They don't have lot of extra marking to confuse my aging eyes (and brain LOL). I use Invisigrip on the backs of all my rulers. Here's a link to the website with all their products. It also has tutorials and free patterns. Hope you find a brand you like! http://simplicity.com/c-374-rulers-templates.aspx

I have several different ones.
I use the one that I can see the markings the best.
one has yellow and one orange and one black markings
depends on the fabric color, what ever I can see the best.

I use Omnigrid. I bought another brand once and the measurements were not the same as my omni rulers. I think it's best to stick with the same brand throughout whatever it may be. :)

It really 'shouldn't' matter - but it does and that's wrong.

An inch should be the same from one ruler to the next.
A pound should be a pound on any scale...right?
