Top 10 Questions About Quilters Select 2.5" x 6.5" Non-Slip Ruler
Q: Why is the 2.5" x 6.5" the most-ordered Quilters Select ruler?
A: The 2.5" strip width is the single most common cutting dimension in quilting — used for jelly roll strips, half-square triangles, four-patches, and hundreds of standard quilt block units. Combined with the 6.5" length for checking block accuracy, this ruler handles a disproportionately large percentage of everyday quilting cutting needs in one compact tool.
Q: What makes Quilters Select rulers different from standard acrylic rulers?
A: Quilters Select rulers feature a proprietary non-slip coating applied directly to the ruler surface that grips the fabric without a separate non-slip mat. The coating provides secure, shift-free cutting while remaining transparent for accurate marking alignment — a significant advantage over rulers that require an add-on grip mat.
Q: Is the non-slip coating permanent?
A: Yes — the coating is applied during manufacturing and does not peel, chip, or wear off with normal use. It remains effective through years of regular cutting use.
Q: What thickness are Quilters Select rulers?
A: Quilters Select rulers are precision-cut acrylic at a consistent thickness that works with all standard rotary cutters. The consistent thickness prevents the rotary blade from riding up over the ruler edge.
Q: Is this ruler compatible with all rotary cutter sizes?
A: Yes — compatible with 28mm, 45mm, and 60mm rotary cutters. The Quilters Select 45mm Deluxe Rotary Cutter is a natural companion tool.
Q: Can this ruler be used for left-handed quilters?
A: Yes — the ruler's markings are readable from both left and right cutting orientations, making it comfortable for both left and right-handed users.
Q: Does the 2.5" x 6.5" ruler have both metric and imperial markings?
A: Check the current product listing for the specific markings included on this ruler version.
Q: Is this ruler good for cutting half-square triangle units?
A: Yes — the 2.5" measurement is specifically useful for cutting squares and rectangles for HST construction across many popular quilt patterns.
Q: Does the non-slip coating affect visibility of the ruler markings?
A: No — the coating is designed to be fully transparent, maintaining clear visibility of all ruler markings, fabric, and cutting lines through the ruler surface.
