    I stick with Omnigrip rulers. I do however have one Creative Grid I believe. but my large and square rulers are all Omnigrip which I use the most.

    I know what I don't like...the ones with the lime green on them. For me, impossible to see through, and that is the point isn't it?

    I've had my 5" x 24" ruler with the lip on the end for over 30 years and still use it for every project. It has angle markings as well as 1/8" markings and the lip is invaluable.

    I have Omnigrid, but if I had to start all over, I think I would go for the Creative Grid. Used my girlfriend's and really liked it. It has built in grippies and seemed to stay in place better. I do think it's wise to stick with a single brand if possible.

    When I started buying rulers, I had not yet seen the tip to stick to one brand as the lines may be printed differently depending on the brand - so I have a combination of Omnigrid and Creative Grids rulers as well as a few specialty rulers. I reach for the Creative Grids rulers first.

    Cheers, K

    6 1/2 by 24" with the 1/2 inch on one side shaded. Makes cutting 1/2 inch increments so easy.

    I'll tell you what I don't like so much, is my Omnigrid. I have two nice big ones, and with my aging eyes, they can be hard to read. I too, would suggest Creative Grids.

    I have mostly Omnigrid, but do have a few of the Creative Grid rulers, and am slowly changing over to them as I need new rulers. I think they are only available from quilt shops, not from the chain stores.

    June Tailor's shape cut rulers. It makes strip cutting fast, accurate. Love them!
