Creative Grids 12-1/2in Square It Up or Fussy Cut Square Quilt Ruler - CGRSQ12

Shipping packaging did not completely enclose the entire square up, resulting in corner being exposed. Luckily there is no noticeable cracks. Like the quarter inch seam allowance.

This picture is miss leading the ruler is actually 12.5x12.5 square, just as the verbal description states. Dont go by the picture!! I am replacing my old 12.5x12.5 ruler with this one, I love it that much!!

Ive had this ruler for a couple years now and have been very afraid of it LOL ... BUT, now that I have figured out what this thing is on this Earth for, I dont know how I have done without it !! The Creative Grids video/demo helped some. I am doing the HOP TO IT machine embroidered appliqued quilt, which apparently is perfect for this ruler. My background blocks were cut to 10 to fit my 5x7 hoop. The instructions recommend you cut your blocks down to 9. Using this ruler, I am EASILY, CONFIDENTLY able to correctly center and trim down my embroidered/appliqued blocks. Notice on the ruler there are marks for INCHES in SOLID LINES and 1/4 INCH in DOTTED LINES. Neat little one inch square in the center of the ruler helps you align your ruler to your block/design. If I cant mess it up, you surely wont. It actually makes sense! I really feel like I have accomplished something these last few days, figuring out this 12-1/2in x 12-1/2in Square it Up Ruler by Creative Grids. I thought I had done something by making this appliqued HOP TO IT in queen size, where the orig pattern was about a throw size or so ... this ruler has had my goat for far too long ~ but I got her now buddy !! Theres no stopping me now !! :-)) Get one. Make sure its made by Creative Grids. Youll be glad you did. (No I dont work for them, but I sure do like their products)

Ive been quilting for over 30 years, and the last thing I needed was another 12-1/2 inch square-up ruler. But Id never found one that quite did the job: too slick (I was tired of having to buy yet more tools to make the ones I have work efficiently, such as sandpaper dots or that useless film), not accurate (what good is a square-up ruler with only one diagonal?) or just plain ineffective. So I took the plunge, and this is the best ruler I have ever bought. It doesnt slip, it has the 1/4 marked all the way around instead of the useless 1/2 mark on only two edges, and it has a big X to center your block perfectly! Easy to read, easy to use, and it doesnt require superhuman strength to keep it where you want it! After 30 years, a tool that works exactly as intended!

Making a tee-shirt blanket for granddaughters graduation. Just what I needed!

great ruler to have so you can square up multiple sizes

I love these rulers. It is clear and easy to read. The grippers are a help.

Now finally am able to square up blocks easily!

I love this for centering an image on a quilt square. I got it so I had one ruler to rule them all ha ha ha (LTR reference there for ya). A disadvantage is that you can only mark the four corners of the square to be cut, but an advantage is you only need one ruler to do all your fussy cuts.

The marking is perfect for centering the design on a t shirt and cutting it to make a quilt square
