Quilt rulers are designed for rotary cutting, for the rulers are made of thick plastic, there will be measurements on the rulers. If you will use the quilt ruler, you should practice for serveral times to be used to using it.
More Instructions
1), Place the ruler on a flat surface in front of you. Find the numbers marked on the surface of the ruler.
2), Read the measurements on your ruler. Inch marks will likely be made by solid lines down the length and width of the ruler. Fractions may look like shorter lines that lessen in length as they decrease in numerical value. Expect to find fractional increments of 1/2 inch, 1/4 inch and 1/8 inch. Some manufacturers instead create grids over the surface of the ruler.
3), Use the markings to line up fabric for cutting. Most quilt rulers have numbers placed so they can be read from the left-hand edge or the right-hand edge, to accommodate left-handed or right-handed cutting. To make a 2 5/8-inch cut, for example, find the 2-inch mark and then move to the 5/8-inch mark after the 2, and line up the edge of your fabric at that spot.
