Rectangle Quilting Ruler, 12-1/2 x 24-1/2 Inches, for Wide Fabric Strips and Oversized Quilt Pieces
This rectangle quilting ruler gives you a 12-1/2 x 24-1/2-inch measuring surface for cutting wide fabric strips and oversized quilt pieces. Made in the USA from acrylic, the Creative Grids ruler slides across fabric for positioning, then grips when you apply gentle pressure to help hold your alignment.
Black and white markings make measurements easy to follow, while the Turn-a-Round feature provides references for half-inch cuts. Dashed quarter-inch lines help trim seam allowances; angled guides support triangles and diamonds, and horizontal and vertical center lines help position stripes and borders for fussy cutting.
