    Shape cut but if I had to have one ruler it would be the 24x6 because I can do everything with it. I use the 24x6 a good amount.

    I am missing out here. I don't even know what a "shape cut" is and a lot of you like it most. I started out using a 12.5" x 4.5" and it still is my most used ruler, followed by my 12.5" x 12.5", and the least used is my 6" x 24", though I do use it too.

    edit: googled it and now I know what I've been missing: http://www.junetailor.com/shapecutvideo.htm I'll be adding that to my wishlist :)

    I only owned a 6x24 until a few days ago. I was working on miniatures, and ran into a problem, contacted Rhonda and she sent me a special order template and included one that she made that is 2x9. You can't imagine how much easier it is to use on miniatures! If you are interested in templates for miniatures, here is the link:

    In the future I am going to collect more rulers of varying sizes as I need them. The 6x24 was great to start with, but I can see how a square or some of these other specialty sizes can be very helpful!

    I use the 6 X 24 inch ruler every time I cut strips of fabric for a quilt top. I also use the 12 1/2 X 12 1/2 square up ruler to square up my blocks before sewing my rows together,
    couldn't sew without them. Also have a 6 X 6 I use to trim and square up smaller pieces as I piece a block and a 6 X 12 for when I sub cut pieces from strips.
