quilting ruler

A quilting ruler is a transparent, usually acrylic tool used by quilters to measure and cut fabric accurately. It often features grid lines, angles, and markings that assist in cutting precise shapes and sizes for quilt pieces. Quilters place the ruler over the fabric and use a rotary cutter along its edges to achieve clean, uniform cuts. The clear material allows for easy visibility of the fabric underneath, ensuring accuracy. Quilting rulers come in various sizes and shapes, making them versatile tools for different quilting projects. They are essential for achieving professional-looking results in quilting.
