Frequently Asked Questions
- When is the 8.5" x 12" the right ruler to reach for?
- The 8.5" x 12" is ideal when you need more width than the standard 6" strip ruler but shorter length than the 24" strip ruler. It works well for cutting blocks up to 8" square, trimming half-square triangle units, squaring smaller blocks, and any task where a mid-size ruler provides better control than a longer ruler.
- How does this compare to the 6" x 12" ruler?
- The 8.5" x 12" is the same length but 2.5" wider, allowing cutting strips and blocks up to 8" wide in a single placement. The 6" x 12" is more maneuverable for narrow strips; the 8.5" x 12" handles a broader range of cutting tasks.
- Can the non-slip coating be applied to both sides?
- The Quilters Select non-slip coating is applied to one side of the ruler. Use the coated side against the fabric surface for the non-slip grip benefit.
- Is this ruler part of the Quilters Select coordinated system?
- Yes — all Quilters Select rulers use compatible measurement grids and the same non-slip coating for consistent performance across the line.
- What cutting mat pairs well with this ruler?
- Any standard self-healing cutting mat, including Quilters Select’s own dual-sided mats, works well with this ruler.
