The extra 2.5\" over a 6\" ruler reduces repositioning frequency significantly for larger blocks.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs this appropriate for a beginning quilter?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eA beginning quilter would typically start with the 6\" x 12\" first, then add the 8.5\" x 12\" as their project sizes grow. It is an excellent second ruler investment for quilters working with larger block sizes.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDoes the non-slip coating work the same as smaller QS rulers?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes — same QS non-slip coating across all ruler sizes. The non-slip quality is particularly valuable on a wider ruler where pivoting during cutting is more common.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat complements the 8.5\" x 12\" in a complete ruler collection?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThe 6\" x 12\" for standard cuts, the 6\" x 24\" for production strips, and square rulers for block squaring. The 8.5\" x 12\" fills the medium-large rectangular cutting position.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs this ruler appropriate for 10\" layer cake squares?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThe 8.5\" width can trim 10\" squares to 8.5\" or handle sub-cutting from layer cake squares, making it useful in layer cake projects.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/lindas.com\/collections\/quilters-select-non-slip-ruler-8-5-x-12in-block-squaring-ruler-aeo.oembed","provider":"Linda's Electric Quilters ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
