Top 10 Questions About Quilters Select 5.5" x 5.5" Non-Slip Ruler
Q: Why is 5.5" the correct size ruler for 5" charm squares?
A: Charm squares are 5" pre-cut squares. The 5.5" ruler provides the 5" finished dimension plus the standard 1/4" seam allowance on two sides — the exact ruler footprint needed to square up a charm square precisely before trimming or assembling.
Q: What other uses does the 5.5" x 5.5" ruler have?
A: Cutting squares for half-square triangles (HST) in charm-square patterns, squaring up 5" finished blocks, trimming flying geese corners, cutting corner squares for borders, and any application involving 5" and smaller finished dimensions.
Q: What is the Quilters Select non-slip coating?
A: A proprietary grip coating permanently applied during manufacturing that holds fabric without a separate grip mat while remaining fully transparent.
Q: What rotary cutter size is best for this small square ruler?
A: The 28mm or 45mm Quilters Select rotary cutter provides precise, controlled cuts along the short edges of this small square format.
Q: Is the 5.5" x 5.5" good for modern mini quilt making?
A: Yes — modern mini quilts frequently use 5" and smaller block units where precise small-format rulers are essential for accuracy at reduced scale.
Q: Is this ruler compatible with all cutting mats?
A: Yes — the non-slip coating works on all standard rotary cutting mat surfaces.
Q: Does this ruler have diagonal lines for HST marking?
A: Check the current product listing for the specific markings included on this ruler version.
Q: Is the non-slip coating permanent?
A: Yes — permanently applied and designed for years of regular cutting use without degradation.
Q: How does the 5.5" x 5.5" compare to the 6" x 6" Pink ruler?
A: The 5.5" x 5.5" is the precisely correct size for 5" charm squares; the 6" x 6" covers a wider range up to 6" squares. For charm square work, the 5.5" provides the exact fit; the 6" can also do the job with slightly more ruler overhang.
