Review: Measures are bold and accurate - Great and easy to read marks in 1/8 and 1/4 seam markings for sewing/quilting. Ruler itself measures one inch wide so fits perfectly as guide. Raised hash marks for easy tracing and notching Review: good starting ruler for a somewhat inexperienced quilter - My old fabric marking ruler was flimsy and the top layer of plastic was peeling off (unfortunately, that is what had the numbers printed on it...) so I ordered this as a replacement. It is miles above my old one in terms of quality -- much thicker/sturdier/more rigid, and doesn't appear that it would ever have the peeling problem. This is a great size. I have a pattern I am making from which I needed to cut something 18 inches long, and since this is 24 inches long, I can do that easily. I am mostly using black fabric for that project, and you can put this over black fabric and see the lines. But you can *also* put it over light colored fabric and see the lines, since the grid is in two colors. I don't mind that the colors are black and yellow; both are easy enough for me to see (and I don't have great vision). I am a little afraid of rotary cutters so I mostly use this for drawing lines with (washable) fabric marking pencils. But it is rigid enough and thick enough that it should be just fine with a rotary cutter running along next to it. I am of a low enough experience level that I am sticking with squares and rectangles for now, and this is more than sufficient for those purposes. This does not have a non-slip surface (and no rubber feet) so you will have to put some pressure on it while cutting or marking. But it did not slide for me. (It helps to have a stable, flat work surface. Use the dining room table instead of a TV tray, for example.) Anyway, this is miles above what I had before and it is easy to use, so I am happy. ## Features - 45 degree angle markings for bias cuts and cross cutting strata strips - Use as a guide w/rotary cutter for curve work - Patented double-sight lines that show up on light and dark fabrics - Heavy-duty durable acrylic material with edge markings for accurate measuring and laser cut edges for smooth, deep cutting - Left- and right-hand numbering and angle system ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07NPK6TSJ | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,450 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #4 in Quilting Rulers & Ruler Racks | | Brand Name | Omnigrid | | Color | Clear | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (7,297) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00762511102580 | | Graduation Range | 1/8 Inches | | Item Dimensions L x W | 2"L x 1"W | | Item Type Name | Quilting Ruler | | Item Weight | 0.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Prym Consumer USA Inc | | Material Type | Acrylic | | Model | R258 | | Part Number | R258 | | Style Name | Rectangle | | UPC | 762511102580 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Omnigrid - **Color:** Clear - **Graduation Range:** 1/8 Inches - **Material:** Acrylic - **Style:** Rectangle ## Images ![Omnigrid Ruler, 2-1/2 x 8-Inch, Clear - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DhXhBLw0L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Measures are bold and accurate *by J***S on March 1, 2026* Great and easy to read marks in 1/8 and 1/4 seam markings for sewing/quilting.

So I decided to try it and I absolutely love it. It's great for when you have to make small cuts precise small measurements. Because it's so small it doesn't slip and it is a very sturdy material like all Omni grid rulers. Highly recommend. ## Frequently Bought Together - Omnigrid Ruler, 2-1/2 x 8-Inch, Clear - Omnigrip RN2518 Non-Slip Quilter's Ruler, 2-1/2 x 18-Inch - Omnigrid Omnigrip 6-1/2" x 6-1/2" Non-Slip Square Quilting Ruler --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/145547659-omnigrid-ruler-2-1-2-x-8-inch-clear](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/145547659-omnigrid-ruler-2-1-2-x-8-inch-clear) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
