> 3 dayI have long used the earlier version of this Fiskars 8.5x8.5 ruler. It helps me to make very precise fabric cuts. After long use, the black lines on the ruler begin to wear off. For $10, replacing this ruler every 5 years is fine. However. The new version of this Fiskars 8.5x8.5 ruler has white protective lines on the bottom surface that obscure the fabric laying under the black inch mark lines, meaning that cuts are less precise with the newer version of this ruler. I imagine that the white lines are there to prevent the black lines from wearing off? I would rather make precise cuts and buy a new ruler every 5 years when the black lines wear thin. Alas, the listing for this item in Amazon currently has two images, one image showing the early version of this ruler and the other image showing the current version of this ruler. I did not pay close enough attention. I need the earlier version of this product, not the current version. I am sure that the new version of this ruler is fine for many users who do not require as precise measurements as do I. (I continue my quest for an 8.5x8.5 acrylic ruler that has ONLY the thin black lines and NO white highlights. I need to see the fabric exactly under each of the black inch mark lines; for example, to make exact 6x6 squares.)

> 3 dayIm so grateful they offered this ruler as a single purchase! I didnt want to have to buy a whole new Quilting set just to get the ruler. I already have about eight rotary cutters and mats, I didnt need any more. It came early, dressed for safe shipping, and in perfect condition! Thanks Fiskars, thanks Amazon!

Greater than one weekThis was bigger than I envisioned but it is the perfect size for our application. We are using this in a photo booth with a red background to take photos of the parts for our machines. The scale is easy to read and gives great perspective to the photos. I cant imagine a better tool for our needs. The only reason I didnt give this 5 stars it one edge was a little sharp and needed to be hit with sandpaper the take the edge off.

27-11-2024Im purchased this ruler for an art class in which it was recommended. Its accurate not only in the numerical markings along the edges, but also with the multiple guide lines running along the entire length. It is easy to line up the end of the ruler with the edge of a drawing to begin to measure that length, but you can insure further accuracy by aligning the horizontal lines within the ruler with the side of the drawing. Also, it doesnt slip! It is extremely frustrating to draw a straight line only to have the ruler slip midway. Great product!

> 3 dayIt’s a ruler that is clearly marked by inches because I bought it from the states.

> 3 dayFirst, the description and photo don’t match. There are no diagonal lines, no vinyl feet. I deducted one star for this error. I had read reviews, so knew what I was (And wasn’t) getting. Secondly, it’s exactly what I was looking for at an exceptional price. I needed a thicker ruler for cutting fabric on my “cut & press” board. Measurements are accurate and thickness is perfect.

> 3 dayThis is not the ruler shown in the listing and not the ruler I was hoping to get. Some question whether this pink ruler we received is even a Fiskar ruler, it is. I have seen them stores and had I wanted this particular ruler, I would have bought it in the store, could have gotten it cheaper. What I wanted was the black lines as shown in the photo of this item. I havent decided if I will keep this one or not, but probably wont. I am still on the hunt for one with black lines. Of all the 6x24 rulers Ive had over the years I like the Fiskar rulers the best because the painted lines seem to last longer on their rulers then others I have used. So hopefully I can find a Fiskar with black lines and orange numbers like my 3x18 Fiskar ruler.
