Key Features
-
Patented Turnaround Feature: Features an easy-to-read layout with 1/2-inch seam allowances highlighted on two adjacent sides, allowing you to add or subtract seam allowances instantly by rotating the ruler 180 degrees.
-
Exclusive Embedded Gripper: Designed with the signature Creative Grids® non-slip backing that grips your fabric firmly when downward pressure is applied, preventing dangerous slips and ruined fabric.
-
Two-Color Dash System: Crisp black and white dashed markings ensure maximum visibility across light, dark, printed, and batik fabrics.
-
Diagonal Alignment Line: Features a perfect 45-degree angled line running corner-to-corner, ideal for squaring up half-square triangles (HSTs) and flying geese units.
-
Laser-Cut Premium Acrylic: Smooth, heavy-weight acrylic construction is built to withstand years of rotary cutter contact without chipping or nicking.
Why Customers Love This Tool
Precision is everything when it comes to matching points and flat seams. Crafters love the CGR10 because it completely removes the anxiety of ruler drift. Instead of wrestling with a giant ruler on mid-sized blocks, this square format isolates your working area perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this ruler to square up a standard 10-inch layer cake square? A: Yes! Because this ruler measures 10.5 inches square, it is perfectly sized to include the required 1/4-inch seam allowances on all sides of a finished 10-inch block, making it the ideal choice for trimming and squaring pre-cuts.
Q: How does the non-slip feature work? A: The back of the ruler features smooth zones for easy positioning alongside specialized textured areas. When you press down to cut, the textured grip activates, locking the ruler to the fabric. When you release pressure, it slides freely.
Q: What is the purpose of the black and white dashed lines? A: Standard solid lines can easily disappear on busy printed fabrics or dark colors. The high-contrast black and white dashed grid ensures that at least one of the colors is always visible against your fabric pattern.
