What do you use this tool for?<\/h5>\n

I use these rulers for trimming blocks and block components. I also use these rulers for fussy cutting.<\/a><\/p>\n

When did you discover it?<\/h5>\n

Several years ago I needed to replace my large ruler (6×24) and found the OmniGRIP version of Omni brand rulers. I have since added the 3.5″ and 8.5″ squares to my ruler collection.<\/p>\n

How has this tool made quilting easier for you?<\/h5>\n

These two rulers are my most commonly used rulers. The 3.5″ square seems to be a common size for units and components of quilt blocks that I sew. The 8.5″ ruler is a perfect larger size without being cumbersome; a 12.5″ ruler may feel too large for a lot of the things I cut.<\/p>\n

These rulers have 1\/4″ markings throughout and also include a 45 degree angle line that makes trimming HSTs and FG quick and easy.<\/p>\n

The grip part of the ruler is just a little extra “stick” on the underside of the ruler to help prevent sliding on your fabrics while cutting.<\/p>\n

Where can this tool be purchased?<\/h5>\n

I purchase my OmniGRIP rulers at Joann’s when I can use a 50% off coupon. I have also purchased from Amazon.<\/a>* On a recent trip to A Quilter’s Corner in Erie, I saw that they now carry the OmniGRIP rulers. In the past they only had Omnigrid on their shelves.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.105″ background_layout=”light”]<\/p>\n

Thanks Laura L. for telling us about your favorite rulers! If you have a tip or tool, we’d love for you to share it with us! You can do that here.<\/a><\/p>\n
