Creative Grids Stripology XL Ruler
Choose the XL when your pattern starts with repeated strips and you have room to lay out a wide ruler.
What this tool is for
Choose the XL when your pattern starts with repeated strips and you have room to lay out a wide ruler. Its slots let you make successive straight cuts at marked positions while leaving the ruler in place. The size is most useful when you need to cut across folded yardage. A smaller slotted ruler is easier to set down and reposition if you mostly work with scraps or trim small blocks.

Fit and buying advice
The acrylic body is 17¾ × 22 inches. The cutting slots run 14¾ inches and are spaced half an inch apart. Those measurements answer different questions. Use the body size to check table clearance and the slot length to check how much fabric the blade can travel through in one pass. The ruler also marks whole-inch blocks up to 12 inches and half-inch blocks up to 12½ inches for squaring up.
Questions about this tool
Will this cut every quarter-inch width?
Read the specific placement instructions for quarter-inch cuts. The printed placement marks help you offset the fabric. The slots themselves are half an inch apart.
When is the Squared more practical?
If the full XL body overhangs your mat or table, compare the smaller Squared and check whether it covers the size of block you usually trim.
Which side should I measure for storage?
Allow room for the entire 17¾ × 22-inch body. The 14¾-inch specification describes the slot, not the ruler footprint.
