Quilters Select Non-Slip Ruler 6in x 24in Long Strip Ruler Production
The Quilters Select Non-Slip Ruler 6" x 24" is the production strip-cutting ruler in the QS line — long enough to cut full folded-fabric-width strips in a single placement without repositioning. The 6" x 24" is the second ruler any quilter should own and the most efficient format for high-volume strip cutting.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why is the 6" x 24" the production strip-cutting ruler?
- At 24" long, it spans the full folded width of standard 44"–45" quilting fabric in a single placement, eliminating the repositioning required with shorter rulers. For high-volume strip cutting, the 6" x 24" is significantly faster than a 12" ruler.
- Is this included in the QS 4" x 14" + 6" x 24" bundle?
- Yes — the 4" x 14" and 6" x 24" are available as a bundle for better value than individual purchase.
- What is the advantage of the 6" width vs a 3.5" or 4" ruler at 24"?
- The 6" width provides more visual stability and easier handling for a 24" ruler. The 6" x 24" is the most stable long ruler format for accurate full-width fabric cutting.
- Is the non-slip coating especially important on long rulers?
- Yes — long rulers are more prone to pivoting during cutting. The non-slip coating on a 24" ruler prevents the ruler from pivoting at the near end during cutting strokes.
- What complements the 6" x 24"?
- The 6" x 12" for precision work and shorter cuts, plus square rulers for block squaring.
