One other thing to consider is sticking with the same brand - as the way the rulers are marked can make the inches appear to measure differently. I learned that the hard way on my first quilt project - and after reading Harriet Hargrave's description of rulers in the Quilter's Academy it suddenly made sense.

It cuts strips, squares, triangles and diamonds so easily in mass quanities. Kind of like chain stitching.
My teacher at my quilt shop had me use it on my borders and I loved it so much I went out and bought 2.
Here is a demo of the product:

I have a ton of rulers but my favorites are the 6 1/2" square & the 6 1/2" x 24". Use them the most. Also have a 12 1/2" square for squaring up bigger blocks. If I would of known this when I first started quilting I could of saved alot of money! LOL
