The Creative Grids® 1" x 12" Rectangle Quilt Ruler (CGR112) is the ultimate sleek, long-form measuring tool for precision quilting, garment drafting, and meticulous craft work. Combining a slim profile with extended length, this professional-grade acrylic ruler offers unmatched stability for cutting strips, checking fabric grainlines, and marking long seam lines without slipping or shifting off-track.
Key Features
-
Patented Non-Slip Grip: Features the exclusive Creative Grids® embedded gripper backing that anchors firmly onto your fabric when downward pressure is applied, yet glides effortlessly when relaxed.
-
Contrast Black and White Markings: Designed with high-contrast dashed lines making every eighth-of-an-inch increment highly visible across both dark textiles and light, bright prints.
-
Centering and Grid Lines: Built-in 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch dashed lines run the full length of the tool, perfect for adding seam allowances or checking small design segments.
-
Slender 1" x 12" Footprint: The narrow width provides exceptional tactile control for small-scale cutting mats, trimming strips, and drawing straight sewing paths right next to the machine needle.
-
Heavy-Duty Acrylic Finish: Laser-cut smooth edges offer precise tracking for standard rotary cutters, defending your hands against slips and preventing blade nicks.
Why Customers Love This Ruler
Standard acrylic rules easily tip or pivot over long cuts, causing uneven strips and ruined fabric stock. The CGR112 solves this common issue with its extended length and specialized non-slip texture. It locks your medium securely in place, giving you the confidence to execute clean, continuous cuts across long borders, sashings, and bindings without missing a millimeter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this with a standard 45mm rotary cutter? A: Yes. The ruler features the standard thick acrylic construction utilized across all full-sized Creative Grids® templates, ensuring complete safety and a smooth edge guide for all rotary blade diameters.
Q: Does it have any angled degree markings? A: This model is intentionally streamlined for long, straight measurements and features precise vertical and horizontal fractional increments rather than dynamic 30, 45, or 60-degree angle lines.
Q: How do you clean the non-slip backing? A: Simply wipe the ruler occasionally with warm water and a drop of mild dish soap to clear away lint or fabric dust, restoring the built-in gripper texture to its maximum performance level.
