And, we offer video tutorials for every product. With over 100 rulers, we have the tool you need to successfully complete your next project.
Fine Black and White Markings
The black and white markings are easy to read when the ruler is placed on both dark and light fabrics.
Follow the numbers in the white circles when cutting whole inches and the numbers in the black circles when cutting half inch increments.
Use the ¼” dashed line along two sides of the ruler to trim seam allowances.
1″ Grid Markings
The squares and rectangles feature 1” black grid lines both horizontally and vertically.
Place the ruler vertically to cut strips. When using the rectangles, sub-cut the strips by turning the ruler horizontally to take advantage of the full length of the ruler.
Non-Slip Embedded Gripper
Creative Grids® unique grip is why these rulers are the best on the market. It’s the secret to cutting fabric with ease and accuracy. The grip slides easily over the fabric while positioning the ruler but stays in place as soon as pressure is applied.
The squares and rectangles feature ¼” grip on two adjoining sides and ½” grip on the opposite two sides to differentiate the Turn-a-Round feature.
Turn-A-Round Features
The Turn-a-Round Feature is shown on all squares and rectangle rulers.
Use the markings in the white dots (and ¼” grip) to cut whole inches and fractional increments. Turn the ruler around to use the markings in the black dots (and ½” grip). By using the half-inch black circle markings, you have effectively added the seam allowance to your pieces that finish to whole inch sizes.
Centering Lines
Our square and rectangle rulers have white horizontal and vertical lines that cross to designate the center of each ruler. Use these markings to square up and trim an appliquéd or embroidered block. Or, center and fussy cut a design or stripe for a sashing or border.

History
All of our rulers are manufactured in the USA. Sheila Waterfield of Leicester, England essentially started Creative Grids® in 1989.
The family owned business at the time involved plastics. She realized that the scraps from the plastics company could be turned into templates for her quilting friends. Soon the Waterfield’s had developed a variety of quilting templates.
Sheila decided to print in black and white so the quilter could distinguish measurements and markings on light and dark fabrics. She then invented the opaque, non-slip grip that sets Creative Grids® rulers apart from all others. When her daughter Rachel Cross took over designing the rulers, the revolutionary Turn-a-Round feature was added.
