Default Fiskars new ruler markings.

I noticed Fiskar rulers looked different. I usually don't look at rulers as I have a lot but these caught my eye today at Walmart. Very big numbers and clear lines. I bought the 3" x 18" to try it out.

I have never been fond of their products but they do have excellent customer service.

The new ruler was less then $7 so it was a no brainer to try it out. It will be fine to take to retreat and workshops, if I lose it no biggie.

I prefer Fisker, I do not like the wider yellow lines. Their 24 ruler is made the same way, you can measure down to 1/16 with no problem.

i like that. The simplicity is also why I like Creative Grids rulers.

Ooooo, I like the look of that! It looks like the lines would show up really well on fabric.
