Why Customers Love This Ruler
Standard small rulers are notorious for shifting out of alignment the second a rotary cutter applies pressure. The CGR106 eliminates this frustration entirely by utilizing a specialized non-slip grip that ensures zero slipping and zero wasted fabric. Its lightweight, slim form factor gives you unmatched tactile control over small segments, rendering strip piecing and template drafting completely effortless.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this ruler be used alongside standard rotary cutters? A: Yes, it is constructed from heavy-duty, standard-thickness acrylic, making it completely safe and durable for use with any rotary cutter size, including 18mm, 28mm, and 45mm blades.
Q: Does it have markings for angles? A: This specific 1" x 6" model is optimized for straight grid lines, featuring precise 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch increments across its length and width for straight-line accuracy rather than angled cuts.
Q: How do the black and white dashed markings help me cut? A: Fabric colors vary wildly. The dual-color grid ensures that if a solid black line gets lost on a dark navy print, the adjacent white dashed line will pop out visually, allowing you to read your measurements flawlessly every single time.
