I use a 18 x 24 mat so I need the 24 x 6 ruler. I only cut through two layers at a time on the first cut because doubling it again sometimes produces wonky cuts. I will stack 6 to 8 layers of strips to cut into squares. I used to cut squares to sell on ebay and I could probably cut faster with these tools than someone with an Accucut. And no waste!
|
My favorite is my 5x24 Olfa lipped thingy (heavy, lipped, and long), and then 2 1/2 inch binding buddy -- depends on what blocks I am making
|
Omnigrid 4 x 14 after I have cut the strips with the 6.5 x 24.
|
Like most everyone else, I use 2 rulers the most..... 4 x 24 and 12 1/2 x 12 1/2. The others get used once in awhile.
|
I use the 6x24 about 90% of the time.
After that, I use the 8½" square up, the triangle trimmer, the flying geese rulers, and other various sizes of the square up. |

My indispensable rulers are my 3.5x18, shape cut, and 6.5x6.5. To me 6x24 just seems awkward. I have a 24x36 mat, but prefer to fold my fabric one more time and use the smaller rulers. Is anyone else like me?

The ruler I use most is 6 1/2 X 12 1/2.
|
I use my 5X24 with a lip most. At least I thought it was 5". After reading a bunch of these threads, I'm wondering if it is 6". I hope not, because if it is I cut a gazillion squares out wrong yesterday. Okay--out to the studio to look.
|
I use my Guidelines 6 x 12 ruler the most, since it is the most versatile, and my 6" square ruler.
|
Shape cutter and 12X12.
