    Default Creative Grids rulers

    I was at a quilt weekend with some other quilters. One of the ladies had a couple of Creative Grids rulers. I have to say I was impressed. The rulers had little circles that were clear but they felt like sandpaper. I used one to cut and It did not move. Does anybody else have one and where is a good place in Canada to get one?

    I have a few and love them. I get them at my LQS. If your local shops don't carry it, can you order online?

    That's the only ruler our local shop carries. I love them, but the lines wear off after a while. They're great because they have black and white lines, so you can see them on light or dark fabrics. I also love the 1/4" line that is clearly marked on 2 sides.

    I love mine, I have several. I ordered mine from the Fat Quarter Shop, they have a great selection of them. I’m pretty sure they ship to Canada.

    If you don’t want to splash out on new rulers at the moment why not get get some anti-slip stickers to put on the rulers you have.

    l have put them on my rulers and they make such a difference. I’m not sure where you would purchase them in the US but her in the UK they are available on Amazon, EBay and craft stores.

    I have several of their rulers but I will confess that I prefer Quilters Select as my go to rulers now, pair it with their cutting mat and wow what a difference in cutting.

    I have several of the "earlier" Creative Grids rulers. I am not particularly fond of them - because they have so many markings on them that I find them confusing to use.

    I have put sandpaper dots on some of my other rulers and that does help with the "skidding around" on fabric.

    I have been looking for the Quilters Select rulers - but so far have not seen any to check them out "in person".

    I have mostly Creative Grids rulers but purchased two of the Quilters Select rulers and really like them. I don’t use the CG rulers unless I need a square and will be purchasing one of QS soon. They are my favorite rulers so far.

    I like them too but my favorites are Quilters Select. I have the mat too and they are both wonderful.

    Before I found Quilter's Select I use Creative Grids. I use Quilter's Select for all my basic rulers now. The lines are clear and no fussy markings. Most of my specialty rulers are Creative Grids.
