I like Creative Grids and Olfa Frosted. My favorite size is 8 1/2 x 24 by Creative Grids. I buy a lot of speciality rulers and they are usually of no specific brand. Fiskars new rulers (no orange) are not as sturdy as they use to be but have very clear black lines. I won't use the yellow line rulers. I gave all those away.

Oh no, that 8" bias square is my favorite - I have 3 of them (corner get a little shaved). Haven't tried the Olfa frosted, love the Creative because it doesn't slip, but I do find it harder to read.

Hey BB, I love the creative grids and Ada has a wonderful selection. The last time we went shopping I picked up two from her, a 6.5" square and a 6.5 x 24. She had better pricing then I have seen at most places.

Oh gosh--thanks for telling me. I've never looked at rulers there--too busy with fabric. :-)

For that size, standard 6 X 24 measuring ruler, there is nothing that can compare with Floriana's Quilters Select rulers. They positively, absolutely, DO NOT SLIP and you can easily see the markings and your fabric! Check LQS that carry Floriani products and if they don't have them, ask them to start...........(PS - Stitch N Time in Greencastle PA has started carrying these)

Once I bought that Olfa Frosted 6 x 12 ruler, I was hooked and I've started replacing my basic rulers with those. I just bought the 12 1/2" and 6 1/2" squares, and I'm planning on buying the 6 x 24 next pay day.
They're much more uncluttered and easier to read than CG rulers, don't slip, and the markings are clear on both dark and light fabrics.
Now...what should I do with all of those Omnigrids that I don't use any more?!?!
