I LOVE the Creative Grids rulers because they are so easy to read - black and clear. The little rough places on the back side also holds it in place pretty well.

All my rulers have 1/8 inch markings.

Every quilting ruler I have has 1/8 inch markings.

Perhaps it would be helpful if you said why you needed 3 7/8" squares. I'm sure there are many members here that could give tips on how to avoid those awkward sizes. If you are making half square triangles it is much easier to go up to the nearest whole number, in this case 4", and then trim your HST down to size. You get much more accurate HST that way.
If you are making something else where you need 3 7/8" squares I'd be interested in hearing others tips on this.

Exactly right, Nan!

Using this ruler makes it easy to get the exact 7/8 size. I like cutting 7/8 for hsts because it eliminates a tedious step of trimming to exact size and many use a special ruler to do the trimming.

I would not cut anything 7/8", I would cut even inches and trim down. For 3-7/8" I would cut at 4". A trimmed piece looks better anyway.

My Creative Grid Rulers have the 1/8" marked, But I'm starting to like over size cutting then trimming to correct size.

Almost all of the rulers I have reflect the 1/8 markings. If you are going to make half square triangles and the formula calls to add 7/8 to the desired finish size I always just go to up 1/8 and then trim after I make the triangles.

I counted the lines on your photo and while I see 7/8, I also see one more--to equal 1 inch across the ruler. Did I count wrong? All my rulers have 1 inch markings and seven 1/8 inch marks as well.

This ruler is like a regular ruler but the 7/8 measurement is highlighted. No need to count all the 1/8 marks. The video explains the ruler's markings. I learned to sew hsts using the exact cut measurement. No trimming needed. I don't have the patience for unneeded work. I used this ruler for all hsts, now I use die cuts.
