What this tool is for
This is a long straight ruler for laying out strips, including on patterned fabrics where the yellow markings can help you keep the fabric edge and measurement in view. The 6½-inch width also gives you space to hold the ruler away from the cutting edge.

Fit and buying advice
Check the 24-inch span against the length of your cut. Compare the wider 9½-inch Omnigrip if the most useful change would be room for broader rectangles. A slotted ruler solves a different problem when you repeatedly cut the same width.
Questions about this tool
Will the backing cover the whole fabric view?
The listing places the grip along the highlighted markings and leaves the background clear.
How is this different from a 24-inch slotted ruler?
You place a handheld wheel against a straight edge and reposition the ruler for the next width.
Can I read smaller measurements?
The listing specifies eighth-inch divisions. Use the straight edge nearest the desired mark.
