There are a couple of them. One cuts every 1/4 inch and another cuts every 1/2 inch. There is also one that cuts the width of fabric but it is 62.99 on the Joann site.

It is amazing how fast your cutting is with this ruler. I mostly use it after I have cut and sewn strips, and then need to subcut.
This is the one I have. I absolutely love it!!
It is in half inch increments. Really saves a lot of time.

I have used the 1/2 spaced ruler for several years and just bought the one with 1/4 inch spacing this past weekend. They are wonderful as long as you keep your cutter upright and don't push against the ruler.

You can use a Sharpie marker to mark the slots that you want to cut in then just take an alcohol swab and wipe the ink off when you're done. I just lay the Sharpie on it's side and swipe over the slots. I use blue, red or green, not the black because you can still see through them.

I have a slotted ruler. It is in increments of 1/2". I love it! It really saves me a lot of time. I had a lot of strip cutting for my bargello I am working on and it really saved me time.
