Creative Grids The Big Easy 6-1/2in x 24-1/2in Rectangle Ruler - CGR1224

Description

This 12-1/2 x 24-1/2" rectangle ruler is what we call the Big Easy – the largest rectangle on the market. This ruler is the perfect choice for home dec projects, trimming quilts, and cutting and mitering borders, it’s almost twice the width of the best-selling 6-1/2" x 24-1/2" rectangle ruler! It features easy-to-read black and white markings printed in 1" grids marked in 1/8" and 1/4" increments. Use the easy-to-read, black numbers (printed on white dots) and the 1/4" grip sides to cut whole inches. The 1/4" dashed lines printed on two adjoining sides aid in trimming seam allowances. Use the patented Turn-A-Round feature – designated by the easy-o-read, numerical white numbers (printed on black dots) and the 1/2" grip sides – to add the 1/2" seam allowance. Use the white 45º angle to trim half-square triangles in whole-inch increments. Use the black 45º angle to trim half-square triangles in half-inch increments. Or use these 45º angles to cut mitered corners on wide borders. An additional black 45º line is placed so that two angles cross 1/4" away from the outside edge. Use these markings to square up flying geese units; squares set on point or mark cross-hatching. The ruler also features 30º, 60º, and 120º angles. White horizontal and vertical lines are printed on the rectangle so the center of the ruler is easily distinguishable. Use these lines to fussy cut stripes and borders.
