The yellow/black grid print with measurement scale in inches allows for precise markings on both dark and light fabrics. The scratch-resistant laser print on the underside of the ruler eliminates visual distortions. The thick, durable material ensures safe guidance for rotary cutters and straight blades on cutting mats. In certain versions, Omnigrid rulers also have angular markings of 30, 45, and 60 degrees for cutting triangles and diamonds as well as diagonal strips. A hanging hole also ensures order in the workspace.
