Creative Grids 2 1/2" X 18 1/2" Ruler CGR218

Description

This 2.5 x 18.5 inch rectangle ruler is the perfect companion for anyone who loves to work with the 2.5 inch pre-cuts on the market. It features easy-to-read black and white markings printed in 1 inch grids marked in 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch increments. Use the easy-to-read, black numbers (printed on white dots) and the 1/4 inch grip sides to cut whole inches. The 1/4 inch dashed lines printed on two adjoining sides aid in trimming seam allowances. Use the patented Turn-A-Round feature - designated by the easy to read, numerical white numbers (printed on black dots) and the 1/2 inch grip sides - to add the 1/2 inch seam allowance. The ruler slides easily over the fabric until pressure is applied. Then, our exclusive gripper holds the fabric in place while cutting, eliminating slipping and miss-cuts! Use the white 45 degree angle to trim half-square triangles in whole inch increments. Use the black 45 degree angle to trim half-square triangles in half inch increments. An additional black 45 degree line is placed so that they cross 1/4 inch away from the outside edge. Use these markings to square up flying geese units and squares set on point. The ruler also features a 30 degree/60 degree angle. White horizontal and vertical lines are printed on the rectangle so the center of the ruler is easily distinguishable. Use these lines to fussy cut stripes and borders.
