This 2-1/2in x 4-1/2in ruler is the perfect choice for anyone who loves to work with the 2-1/2in precuts on the market today. Also great for trimming up smaller projects.



  • Easy to read black and white markings are printed in 1in grids marked in 1/8in and 1/4in increments.
  • Use the black numbers printed on white dots and the 1/4in grip sides to cut whole inches.
  • Use our exclusive Turn-a-Round feature to cut 1/2in increments by following the white numbers on black dots and 1/2in grip sides.
  • The 1/4in dashed lines that are printed on two adjoining sides, aid in trimming seam allowances.
  • Black and white 45 degree angled lines for trimming half-square triangle blocks and marking crosshatching.
  • Additional black and white 45 degree lines intersect the first, so they cross 1/4in away from the outside edge on both 4-1/2in sides. Use these markings to square up flying geese units and squares set on point.
  • This ruler also features a white 30/60 degree line on one end.
  • White horizontal and vertical lines are printed on the rectangle, so the center of the ruler is easily distinguished. Use these lines to fussy-cut stripes and borders.
  • Ruler slides easily over the fabric until pressure is applied. Then our exclusive grip holds the fabric in place while cutting, eliminating slipping and miss-cuts.

    Lucy ★★★★★

    The 2.5 x 4.5 size is perfect for my precut fabric strips, and the markings are so clear I don't have to squint to read the black lines on white.

    Andrew ★★★★★

    The matte finish keeps it from sliding all over my cutting mat, which is a huge plus when I'm trimming jelly roll strips. The black and white markings are crisp enough to read without my reading glasses, and it's the perfect size for quick squaring up.

    Violet I. ★★★★★

    The black markings on this 2.5 x 4.5 inch ruler really stand out against the white, making it easy to see my cuts even on busy fabric. I’ve been using it to trim up smaller quilt blocks and it’s been a perfect fit for my precut strips.
