Frosted Acrylic Olfa Ruler 6x24 - The Essential

Although this ruler is wonderful for fabric cutting and is a great non-slip ruler, I am using it to fold my fabric so it will stack safely on my shelves in my sewing room. It is nice and sturdy, and just the right width and length for my purposes. The price is a bit steep, but with proper care, it should last a lifetime.

This was the first ruler I bought many years ago. I have several major brands of rulers, but reach for the Olfa brand rulers more than any others. I find it easier to see my seams and cut edges through this brand than the other brands I own, which makes it much easier to square up blocks and make accurate cuts. I also use Olfa rotary cutters and find them very comfortable and reliable.

Love the way it stays in place. Highly recommended.

Perfect! Just use with a gypsy gripper, and a rotary cutter. Makes things so much easier.

It is very nice having a ruler that doesn't move when using a rotary cutter. The only thing I wish they'd do is make the 1/2" sides a different color like my Fiskars, wish I could combine the two.

I am an artist and traded in my old quilters ruler because it did not have enough markings for measuring systematically. The OLFA grid allows one to measure every 1/8".

I use this daily with my quilting projects and my husband uses it to correctly cut paper. The frosted surface helps keep the ruler from sliding around - hence, more accuracy.

So happy to have this and my rotary cutters. The increment markings make cutting angles so much easier. Straight edges are a breeze.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first got this frosted ruler, I was skeptical. I had used rulers from another company when quilting for years. I couldn't see how the frosting was going to be helpful. My first cut blew me away. The frosting not only helped the ruler grip the fabric; it made the markings so clear. It did not obscure the fabric at all. I have used it on both light and dark fabrics in all tones and patterns and it works wonderfully with each. The type and style of markings on this ruler are also more helpful than those on other brand rulers I have used. It used to be difficult for me to quickly and consistently find any 1/2 inch marking. The OLFA frosted ruler solved that problem for me and improved my cutting time. Many of us find cutting to be the tedious part of quilting. This OLFA frosted ruler has made it faster and more enjoyable for me. I definitely will be replacing my other rulers with OLFAs. #sweepstakes

The edges are easily necked on the ruler which ruins the cutting blades on the rotary cutters. This causes one to constantly change the rotary blade on the cutting knife. The plastic ruler needs to be harder so the edges aren't damaged and nicked so easily.
