    I bought this ruler after dealing with lymphedema in my right arm after radiation. And I love it! It allowed me to continue my quilting projects with beautiful results! I now use it as my go-to ruler for strip- cutting. It never fails to produce precise cuts. Thank you for a great product!

    This has to be one of the greatest quilting rulers on het market. I have owned the XL and Square rollers for a while now and to be honest it wasn't until I made one of Gudrun's quilt patterns that I understood just how amazing these rulers are. I am sure that these will be my "go-to" rulers for all future quilts!

    I never comment on anything, but I’m making an exception for this ruler. I love to sew, and I like making quilts. Unfortunately, I am a terrible cutter, despite my best efforts. I’ve tried every ruler out there, including other slotted rulers, and I’ve still had inaccurate results. As such, I have several quilt kits that I’ve never begun because I dread the cutting process. The Creative Grids Non-Slip Stripology has changed my life. Over the past few days, I’ve easily cut out accurate pieces for my quilt. I wish this ruler could handle any size strip. When I had to leave the ruler to trim 5” squares down to 4 ⅞ “ squares, I used the Itty Bitty Eights XL Rectangle ruler, but my squares were still off. I’d love to see a 7/8ths line added to the Stripology ruler to move it and cut pieces into 7/8” increments like using it to cut 1/4” increments. Now that this ruler has removed most of my cutting stress, I will finally make all of those beautiful quilts that I’ve been avoiding! Thank you for this beneficial video!

    I just ordered one of these amazing rulers. I still wonder where the measurement point is on each line. I assume its the centre of each line, which means we have to pick to always align with the bottom edge of all lines or the top edge of all lines (or left edge or right edge) when cutting in the same direction. If anyone here has the ruler in their hands, it would be great to know if I'm correct with this or not.

    I have a peg board in my sewing room that I keep my cutting rulers hung on, as well as my rotary cutters- out of of the grandkids reach! I’m grateful for the set up to allow it. Prior to that, I had it in a large zip up travel bag for rulers and mats I bought at joAnns that I tucked between the wall and my sewing desk when not in use to protect it. (Before grands) ;) you could also put it under a guest bed along with the cutting mat. I’ve heard of a lady storing her cutting mat between a spare mattress and box springs, I suppose it could go there too! Perhaps she was hiding her sewing purchases in general now that I think on that one… but I digress. Funny aside anyway… 😂 I do love my stripology ruler and I hand her proudly! Thanks for the video on all the additional things to be done with it than stripping!

    I hope I figure it out soon, but when I place my rotary cutter in the teardrop and proceed to cut through, I’m not getting to the fabric. Some partial cuts but other than that, it’s not making it through. Rewatching video for angle - still not getting through - concerned that repeated tries are damaging the ruler. Changed blade on rotary cutter too. Yikes.

I noticed my table depresses a bit when I put pressure on it, so I may dig out the ruler again, and try it on a flat board, or something. I was so sad I couldn't get it to work.

    I think there is no easier or more accurate way to cut fabric. Btw, you must have a level flat table or countertop surface. I had a little trouble with my cuts being a tiny bit short. Lay gently, don't stretch the fabric and be certain your cutting table isn't slightly concave when you press down on it.

    You can...just have to use a little math to figure out where to cut if squaring up that small of a block. But it’s such a big ruler for such a tiny block. If you can go the extra mile and get the stripology mini, that’s more smaller and recommended for easier way to whip out tiny 2 1/2 squares. Did I also mention the mini would be lighter too.
