Square up blocks and cut pieces to 6 inches with markings pared back to the essentials. Numbers print in black on white squares, the grid carries only the lines a cut needs, and the size is a true 6 x 6 inches. Rachel Cross of Creative Grids designed the three-piece Basic Range to keep rotary cutting simple, and this square is the size for squaring blocks and trimming half-square triangles. What's Included This listing is for the 6 inch square ruler only. Fabric, rotary cutter, and cutting mat are not included. How to Use It Solid black lines mark the 1 inch grid, black and white dashed lines mark the half inch positions, and white plus signs mark the quarter inch points, so each increment reads differently on light or dark fabric. Line the grid up with your fabric edge or seam and cut along the ruler's edge. The 45 degree line runs corner to corner for squaring up half-square triangles in both whole and half inch sizes. Perfect For Squaring pieced blocks up to 6 inches Trimming half-square triangles on the 45 degree line Subcutting strips into squares and rectangles A first ruler for a quilter learning rotary cutting Why You'll Love This Tool Black numbers printed on white squares set the Basic Range apart from the rest of the Creative Grids line and read at a glance on any print. Fewer lines on the acrylic means less to scan before each cut, which is the whole idea of the range. The non-slip grip does the holding: the ruler slides freely into position, then light pressure locks it against the fabric for the cut. Markings stop at the quarter inch, so this is the square for everyday blocks, strips, and half-square triangles. Blocks larger than 6 inches need a bigger square ruler.
