I too have Omnigrid and like them. They are what I started out using and I’ve had no issues with them.

I’ve been using Omnigrid for years and have no complaints. The yellow doesn’t bother me at all.

I'm another for QS. I started out with Omnigrid probably because of price and the only game in town possibly. I will never buy another one. I think I might some creative grids but I don't buy specialty rulers. As for QS, I'm very happy with them even though they are pricey. My montra for every thing these days is "it must be on sale, or I don't buy". I bought the 6x24 and 3x12 first and knew my next would be the 6 1/2 square. On my way to KC quilt show in June I stopped at a LQS and almost started shopping before I got to KC, except they only had the 6 inch square. I got to KC a saw them every where at the show but happened upon the QS rep selling them on sale(not much, but some) so I got it there. Eventually I'll replace all of the rulers I have by omnigrid, but these three seem to be what I mainly use. The others are mainly squares(9, 12, 15, etc.) which I don't use much. I have a 2 1/2 x 6 1/2 by creative grids that I use a lot for small pieces and by the machine.

Have several since I was a novice and just had an addiction to buying rulers. They sit and maybe once in a while depending on the size I need to cut they get used...Like the 8 1/2 wide x 24...If I need 8 1/2 don't care abt the yellow lines.

There's an odd ball in every group, I absolutely love Omnigrid rulers, I have seven of them. Where they get the Omnigrip part from is beyond me, I don't think they grip to anything. I've put little blobs of glue on the bigger ones to make them less slippery.

I started with the ones with the yellow lines and they are so annoying to me!! I've replaced most of them.

I always had a problem with the shading also, I had a 201/2 square and gave it away because of that

Poor design. I've purchased some with the Heavy black line demarking inches. Not precise at all!
