Dritz (antique) 6x24 fewer line to read or mis-read, used most of the time. Fiskar 6.5x24 it's O.K.

Creative grid rulers. I like the non-slip grips. The markings are too smeary on Omnigrid for me. I also like my Fiskar 24"x6.5" ruler with build in rotary cutter (like what Nancy's Notions carries). I've had it forever and have used it for everything from posterboard to fabric (I change the blades out, promise). My most used rulers are my 4.5" x 12.5", 6.5" square, and 12.5" square creative grid rulers.

I really like the 8 1/2 inch wide rulers, have both 12 and 24 inch long. any and all square rulers, from 2 1/2 inches up to 14. wish I could afford the 20 inch square.

Do you know they now have a June Taylor Shape Cut that has 1/4" cuts? Very handy.

My EZ ruler / 2" x 18"

My OMNIGRID 6"x 12"

My 12" sq. floor tile for 25cents for squaring up. I couldn't find the size that I wanted so the tile works.

My June Taylor
But not the 6 x 24 - it is just too long and gets in the way.
