Best Quilt Rulers
#32
I just wish someone would come out with a non-reflective ruler material....- like the non-reflective glass for picture frames........if it's out there, someone please let me know !!! .... that's my biggest complaint - the glare of my work light on the ruler surface when i'm trying to line up and be precise.

I had heard about starching in the past but completely forgot about it. Thank you for the reminder. I will be cutting some things tonight and I am going to starch everything! Great advice!
Omnigrid are my favorite. To start and stay with the same brand is one key. Accurate cutting is another key. But I have found in the past year and a half STARCH is the best thing I do. Starch every piece BEFORE I cut anything makes for better cutting, better piecing, less pinning (no pinning) , better quilts. I starch and press dry every piece stiff before I do anything else. Using the same machine start to finish makes a big difference. Pressing carefully makes a difference, an accurate 1/4 inch seam is also very important. Maybe some of this will help you.

I looked at these rulers and rotary cutters online and on YouTube. They look great and I would love to try them but I will have to ease my way into them because of the cost. Definitely will follow up with this. In the meantime Creative Grid, of which I have a couple, seems to be the ruler of choice. What great help everyone's input has been. I tend to be more of a lurker than a 'talker' on this Board but I so appreciate the kindness, the expertise, and the willingness to help others that I have encountered along the way. How refreshing! Thank you all!
