Omnigrid Square Quilting Ruler Value Pack (2-1/2", 4-1/2", 6-1/2", 9-1/2")

Quality product. Well made

I waffled and debated and hmmmed and hawwwed over these or the more expensive ones at my local shop. I am so glad this was my choice. A multipack is great- I paid for these what ONE costs at hobby lobby. And it comes in super handy to have smaller sizes when subcutting- a LOT less wrestling with my longer ruler. Also they grip very nicely- I did buy grips but have not needed them yet, though I expect to eventually over time with use. I was still impressed with the grip these had out of the package as I was expecting them to slip much more easily. I will say the yellow marks can be harder to read on yellow fabric in the same tone but really I don't use that color terribly often and there are black ticks too so it's not impossible. Overall very nice rulers at a very nice price...which matters. Quilting is EXPENSIVE. These take some of the sting out of that!

I have been quilting for many years. I have tried many brands of rulers, including mono grid. I have always gone back to this brand. This packet is a wonderful group of sizes for different types of sewing. I didn't have one of them, and have missed it. I ran over my 9.5 with my sewing chair, and no brand survives that. This is a really good buy, on a great product. The markings are numerous enough to allow a variety of measurements, but not so many as to be confusing. The printing doesn't chip off. It is easy to use on the diagonal. One negative vote, watch for thieving family members who also like them.

I really like these rulers. I was debating over these vs the Arteza 4 pack that Amazon offers. The deciding factor was the price. Both had 2 rulers the exact same size but the Arteza had the biggest ruler at 12.5” and for whatever reason I ended up buying it elsewhere for cheaper than what I was willing to pay for it. Anyways, RE these rulers... they all have a hole that’s big enough that I can use the metal tab command hooks and I can keep them nice and organized next to my cutting table. I now wish I would have purchased some non slip thingy cause I suck when cutting fabric. I always usually end up moving the ruler. Ohh well, not the rulers fault. Also, the lines are very visible and they’re not going to be fading anytime soon based on another Omnigrid ruler I have that doesn’t have faded lines, which is important in cutting straight lines. 📏 they also came nicely packaged by Amazon, which I appreciate. So thank you.

Omnigrid rulers are terrific for cutting fabric accurately with a rotary blade and great for using a scissors, too. When using scissors I use my Omnigrid ruler to determine where to cut, then make a straight line mark with a pencil. If it is a slippery fabric I use flat head pins to hold the fabric together and the Omnigrid ruler will lay flat on top of the fabric with no problems. The yellow markings are very easy to see and are very useful for finding the measurement wanted. For example, on the 1" ruler there are yellow markings at 1/4" spaces in the middle of the ruler, and black dashes down the middle section that are labeled with 3/16" and 3/8" from both edges; these make it easy to line the ruler up just at the measurement wanted. On the edges the yellow marks indicate 1/8" increments. This set is great for quilting because of the assortment of ruler sizes. The 1" ruler is perfect for adding 1/4" seam allowances and making straight edges on small fabric pieces. The two larger rulers make cutting bigger pieces easy. They are small enough to keep on my sewing table without getting in the way when I am sewing. Because the plastic is a little slippery I like to buy the "TrueCut Non Slip Ruler Grips" to place on the back of the rulers. It really helps keeping them in place while cutting.

I was looking for a 12.5" square ruler, and saw one for $23. You can easily understand why I jumped on this deal of 4 for $22! Not only a 12.5", but the 9.5" was also one I wanted. I was very happy to find both. The others were just cake. I have always loved Omnigrid because they are easy to read. I have a couple other brands, but when it comes to making cuts, I really prefer these because I don't have trouble reading the markings or trying to understand the measurements. That and the bright yellow is easy to see on most fabric. So if you have a chance to grab this deal and you need the rulers, by all means do so.

I thought I had lost my 12.5 square, so ordered a new set. Found the other one and gave one to my sister. It works great on 100% cotton fabric for quilts. Just make sure your bottom surface under the fabric is flat. Bumpy fabrics can be a little difficult to get a straight line around the square. Happy Crafting!

Three basic pieces every sewer needs in one set.
