The Creative Grids® 1.5" x 12.5" Rectangle Quilt Ruler (CGR15125) is a specialized, slender measuring tool designed for immaculate accuracy when strip piecing, trimming seam allowances, and cutting bindings. Engineered from premium, heavy-duty acrylic, this long and narrow ruler provides excellent stability without bulk, making it the perfect companion for checking detailed block segments right alongside your sewing machine or rotary cutting mat.
Key Features
-
Exclusive Non-Slip Gripper Backing: Features the patented Creative Grids® embedded gripper tech on the reverse side that anchors firmly to fabric when downward pressure is applied, yet slides freely when released.
-
High-Contrast Markings: Crisp black and white dashed grid lines ensure complete visibility across dark, light, and multi-colored print fabrics.
-
Centered 1/4-Inch and 1/2-Inch Visuals: Includes clear vertical and horizontal measurement guides to quickly verify exact seam allowances and strip widths.
-
Slim 1.5" x 12.5" Form Factor: The narrow profile allows for exceptional tactile control, making it easier to hold down than wider, bulkier standard rulers when slicing thin fabric strips.
-
Laser-Smooth Edge Finish: Crafted from extra-thick, durable acrylic with perfectly straight, laser-cut edges that provide flawless tracking for standard rotary cutter blades.
Why Customers Love This Ruler
When using standard, wide rulers to trim small strips or bindings, the tool can easily tilt or slide because your hand pressure is spread out over too much surface area. The CGR15125 solves this layout issue by matching the narrow shape of your hand's grip. It stops fabric shifting completely, giving you clean, straight-set cuts and saving expensive yards of fabric from ruinous miscuts.
Perfect For
-
Quilters who cut a lot of bindings, sashing, and narrow strip units.
-
Sewists requiring a portable, long straight edge that fits easily in a travel sewing tote or class kit.
-
Makers specializing in intricate patchwork designs, strip piecing, or log cabin blocks.
-
Crafters who need to quickly verify 1/4-inch seam allowances directly at their machine workspace.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this narrow ruler be used with a standard 45mm rotary cutter? A: Yes. It is manufactured from the same heavy-duty, standard-thickness acrylic as larger Creative Grids® rulers, meaning it safely guards your fingers and tracks cleanly with 18mm, 28mm, 45mm, or 60mm rotary cutters.
Q: Does it have angle markings for triangle cuts? A: This specific 1.5" x 12.5" model is optimized for straight line slicing, strip-piecing, and sashing, so it features linear grid markings rather than diagonal angle lines to maximize visual clarity on the narrow surface.
Q: Why are there white dashed lines next to the solid black lines? A: This dual-color system ensures high contrast. If a solid black line blends into a dark navy or black fabric, the white dashed line next to it stands out clearly, allowing you to read measurements instantly.
