    Am I the only one who has trouble reading thru these rulers because of the thick yellow or green lines? I have mono vision (one eye for distance, one eye for close-up) and I don't know if that's why I have a hard time. You all might see these in my next sale.

    I have used one and also have the mono vision contacts. I got to where I just "knew" where to line it up to be consistent. I got a bigger (12 1/2 x 12 1/2) template now and use it for just about everything now.

    I love mine but then I have a small lamp that shines directly on the cutting area and I think that helps.

    I have 2 & yes, I have trouble seeing where the fabric is because of all of the lines!

    I had to put a table lamp right over my cutting surface to see the lines too.

    The direct light makes a big difference for me.

    Everyone has their own preferences. Many people like those June Taylor rulers. I am always different. The only thing I think they are good for is fleece.

    I use them without problems but I don't have mono vision. I am farsighted and nearsighted at the same time though...which sucks.
