Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is this ruler exactly 2.5 inches square? A: This model is specifically optimized for cutting and trimming popular pre-cut sizes like 2.5-inch charm packs and jelly roll strips, allowing you to square up miniature units so they finish at exactly 2 inches when sewn with standard quarter-inch seams.
Q: Can I use this mini ruler with a standard 45mm rotary cutter? A: Yes. It is manufactured from the same heavy-duty, standard-thickness acrylic used in larger Creative Grids® templates, ensuring your fingers remain safely guarded when tracking with 18mm, 28mm, or 45mm rotary blades.
Q: Do the non-slip rings on the back leave marks on white fabric? A: No. The patented gripper system utilizes smooth, molded micro-textures within the acrylic rather than abrasive, sand-like coatings. It provides maximum holding power without snagging, dragging, or leaving sticky residue on your materials.
