    One of my favorite rulers is a slotted ruler. Makes accurate cutting easier for me.

    I prefer Creative Grid think they are easier to read.

    I **LOVE** the June Tailor Shape Cut Plus slotted ruler! Makes PERFECT strips, fast & easy. I recently purchased June Tailor's Half-Square/Quarter Square Triangles ruler, and found it also works great for squaring up squares. During Joann's last 50% off sale on quilting rulers, I purchased the June Tailor Diamond Cut ruler and her 2 1/2" Binding Buddy ruler, but I haven't had the chance to use them yet. LOVE June Tailor rulers!

    You usually see them in quilt shops. I just bought one at the Lancaster show. 81/2 X24. I love it.

    I have just purchased westfalia rulers from Australia. They are great if you have hand problems. Expensive but worth it.

    Thanks to the recommendation from this forum, I purchased my first CREATIVE GRIDS rulers (to add to my June Tailor slotted rulers) - and I **LIKE** them!!!! Since I couldn't decide which one, my dear husband bought me three - a 3 1/2" x 18 1/2"; a 6 1/2" x 24 1/2"; and a Two-In-One 12 1/2 Square It Up & Fussy Cut Ruler. All are non-slip, easy to read, nice thin lines. I'm in quilting heaven!!!

    I also have all Omnigrids and Omnigrips. I have heard good things about the Creative Grids rulers, but haven't bought them because I do believe it's important to use all the same brand of ruler during a project if possible, and I don't feel like replacing all my rulers. Some quilters even recommend you stick to the exact same ruler all through a project, which I find impossible to do, because first I need a long ruler, and then a shorter one later.
