Grace Company TrueCut Ruler, 6-1/2 by 24-1/2-Inch

This system is amazing. The TrueCut ruler when used with the My Comfort rotary cutter (both made by The Grace Company) makes cutting fabric straight a breeze. The ruler is not made from that acrylic that always manages to get damaged (corners always chipping off). It is a bit flexible so it won't break or chip like acrylic rulers do. I like that the markings are written in a dark contrasting color and are large enough to see clearly. I was able to cut a perfectly straight piece of fabric my first time using it. I have always had issues when using rotary cutters with the blade wandering away from the straight edge or ruler no matter how hard I tried to keep it flush against it. I only wish I found this system earlier. It would have saved me a lot of time and money. Also shipped fast and arrived early.

Sehr gut. Perfekt eingepackt. Wie es sein soll.

This ruler works with the rotary cutter made by the same company. The cutter has a guide that fits in a groove on the ruler that keeps the cutter from slipping and also protects your fingers. I love that the ruler has open squares so you can see where the fabric lies. It also has 1/4 inch marks every inch or so that helps with accuracy.

I got the TrueCut rotary cutter in a promo offer from Grace and wanted to try it with some of their rulers. I chose the 6x24 ruler because this is the size I use to cut long strips of fabric. The ruler is clear and has good markings that are easy to see. It works very well when used with the Trucut rotary cutter. I added the True Grips to the ruller to help hold it in place. The ruler has holes in it also so you can hold the fabric in place better. The cutter has a groove on it that fits on the edges of the cutting so the cutter stays next to the ruler and the cut is precise. The price of the rulers are reasonable as well.

This is a unique ruler in that the companion rotary cutter rides on a rail that keeps the blade from veering off. No way to get crooked lines with this ruler and rotary combo. The only thing i wish the manufacturer made was one that was longer. They once had a different version made out of metal that had a handle but I believe they discontinued it however I don’t know if that ruler guide had a rail. I have not seen anything out there similar except fiskars version but that one looks a bit cheap to me. There may be a more expensive contraption out there that is more heavy duty but I have not found it. Since I need to cut fabric longer than 24 inches I plan on buying two of these rulers and joining them together somehow by using some kind of aluminum extrusion or straight edge and gluing it or screwing it to the ruler that way I have a continuous ruler that I can use to cut my longer fabrics. Pretty unique tool.
