Sew Easy Quilters Ruler - Patchwork Ruler 24"in x 6.5"in Imperial and Metric - NL4188

Sew Easy Quilters Ruler - Patchwork Ruler 24"in x 6.5"in Imperial and Metric - NL4188

If there is one ruler every quilter needs in their sewing room, it is the 24" x 6.5". The Sew Easy Quilters Patchwork Ruler in this classic format is the essential long ruler for strip cutting, border trimming, squaring fabric and so much more — with the added advantage of both imperial and metric markings so it works equally well for inch-based quilting patterns and centimetre-based sewing projects.

THE QUILTER'S MOST USEFUL RULER The 24" x 6.5" is widely regarded as the single most versatile ruler in quilting. The 24" length spans the folded width of most quilting cotton for cutting selvage to selvage in one pass, while the 6.5" width accommodates the most common strip widths used in patchwork — 2.5" for binding and strips, 3.5" for sashing, 4.5" and 6" for larger segments. Whether you are just building your ruler collection or replacing a well-worn favourite, this is the one to have.

IMPERIAL AND METRIC — ONE RULER DOES BOTH Like all rulers in the Sew Easy Designer range, the NL4188 features both imperial (inches and fractions) and metric (centimetres) markings on the same ruler. Switch between systems without reaching for a second ruler — ideal for quilters who work across traditional inch-based patterns and modern metric designs, or for sewers who use this ruler across multiple types of projects.

KEY FEATURES

• 24" x 6.5" (61cm x 16.5cm) — the most popular and versatile long quilting ruler format
• Dual measurement system — imperial (inches) and metric (cm) on the same ruler
• Wide enough for the most common quilting strip widths — 2.5", 3.5", 4.5" and 6"
• 24" length spans folded fabric width for full selvage-to-selvage cuts
• Clear horizontal, vertical and diagonal guide lines for accurate angled cuts
• Made from durable acrylic — built for regular use with a rotary cutter and cutting mat

HOW IT COMPARES TO THE 24" x 3" (NL4187) The Sew Easy range includes both a 24" x 3" ruler (NL4187) and this 24" x 6.5" (NL4188). The 3" ruler is ideal for narrow strip cutting and precise work in tight spaces. The 6.5" ruler is the broader, more versatile option that handles a wider range of cut widths. Many quilters own both — but if you are choosing just one long ruler to start with, the 6.5" width is the better all-rounder.
