New rulers
#4
i think my first ruler was purchased at a quilt show. it's fluorescent with laser cut markings. it's 6.5"x24". this has been invaluable to me. the lines are very easy to read and thin enough to be very accurate. i wish i'd stuck to that type for all of my rulers.

I love square rulers. I have a 6.5" I use for squaring pieces and I find it invaluable. I also have a 12.5 for squaring up and this is the best ever! I have the standard 6.5x24 as well for cutting strips of fabric as well as other assorted shapes. But, I would strongly recommend the square rulers to you, they are a favourite.

I currently have the Cut for the cure and lines going vertical I can see ok, but I have a hard time finding (easily) the vertical ones especially the 1/2 inch mark.

I've switched everything over to Creative Grids. The lines are clear and easy to see, but are thin. Some of the rulers I used to have had lines that were so thick that you could easily cut on one side or the other of 2 or 3 threads. Doesn't seem like much, but when you are looking for precise piecing and matching points, it matters!
