I use an old Sharon Hultgren Easy rule 2 and quilt in a day rulers. Measured against my June Taylor shape cut and it was right on. I think it just depends on which rulers you use. Some are the same, others are off a bit. Just a good idea to stick to same manufacturers or check each time you buy a new one.

I mainly use the lines on the mats to make sure my ruler is straight. I lack depth perception and have trouble making sure the lines match--the old saying" can't draw a straight line with a ruler "was made for me lol
