Slotted Quilting Ruler with Half-Inch Cutting Slots and Non-Slip Grip for Fabric Strips and Blocks
This slotted quilting ruler helps you prepare fabric strips and square quilt blocks using clearly marked cutting guides. Slots spaced every 1/2 inch simplify repeated cuts, while the non-slip grip helps prevent shifting when you apply light pressure.
Made in the USA from acrylic, this Creative Grids ruler also guides cuts for rectangles, diamonds and triangles. Its flexibility accommodates the added thickness of embroidery for trimming and fussy cutting. Black and white markings distinguish whole-inch and half-inch block sizes, and illustrated instructions help you put the guides to use.
