• Use the easy-to-read, black numbers printed on white dots and the 1/4 inch grip sides to cut whole inches.
• Use the patented Turn-A-Round feature to cut 1/2 inch increments. Just follow the white numbers printed on black circles and 1/2 inch grip side.
• The 1/4 inch dashed lines printed on two adjoining sides aid in trimming seam allowances.
• The ruler also features 30, 45, 60, and 120 degree angles – that run in opposing directions..
• White horizontal and vertical lines are printed on the rectangle so the center of the ruler is easily distinguishable as well. Use these lines to fussy cut stripes and borders.
