I like a ruler that is not too big, but not too small for cuts that don’t require a really long ruler. This size is short enough to be quick to pick up, but not so short that it is limited in use. The Creative Grids rulers have become my go to rulers because they stay in place well on the fabric when cutting. If I was customizing it for me I would number a little differently, but that won’t stop me from buying more of the rulers.
