Clear Cutting Ruler 15×25 cm with Angle Lines

Clear Cutting Ruler 15×25 cm with Angle Lines

A clear cutting ruler measuring 15×25 cm, with a full grid of lines and angle lines of 30, 45 and 60 degrees. The lines are printed in black and yellow, and the angle lines stand out in yellow. The ruler is made of rigid, clear plastic and has a hanging hole. The 25 cm length is convenient for working at a small table and for carrying in a sewing bag.

In sewing and quilting, a ruler like this is used for measuring, marking and as a guide for a rotary cutter. The transparency lets you see the fabric or pattern paper beneath the ruler and line up the lines exactly on the edge of the fabric, on a seam line or on an earlier mark.

Common Uses

• Cutting squares, rectangles and strips for quilting and patchwork.

• Cutting bias tape and diagonal strips along the 45-degree line.

• Adding an even seam allowance along pattern lines.

• Marking pleat lines, hems and pockets on fabric.

• Squaring the fabric edge before cutting, at a right angle to the selvage.

Who It Is For

Professional Tips

• Place the ruler so the marking line sits exactly on the edge of the fabric, not on the loose threads of the edge.

• When cutting with a rotary cutter, press on the ruler with an open palm, keep your fingers away from the edge, and cut in one motion away from your body.

• Read the measurement from above, at a right angle to the ruler. Looking from the side shifts the line by a few millimeters.

• Work on a dedicated cutting mat. Cutting on a table damages both the blade and the table.

Common Mistakes

• Cutting with scissors right against the ruler edge. The scissors chip the acrylic edge.

• Ironing next to or over the ruler. Heat warps acrylic and erases the markings.

• Measuring diagonal strips without the 45-degree line. Use the angle line printed on the ruler.

• Cleaning with alcohol or solvents. The markings are erased. Water and a soft cloth are enough.

How This Ruler Differs

This is the compact ruler in the series: 15×25 cm. The 15×30 rulers are 5 cm longer, and the narrow 10×45 cm ruler suits long lines. Choose this size for working at a small table, for classes and for a sewing bag.

All clear cutting rulers, in various sizes and marking colors, are in Cutting and Quilting Rulers. For drawing pattern curves see Curve Rulers, and for right angles see L-Square Rulers.
