This video goes in depth on the basic markings you can find on rulers to be used in the world of rotary cutting.

Great video Becca! You are a natural teacher!

[@jpfouchey7551]

Great tutorial! You explain things so clearly. I didn’t know there was so much to measuring properly.

[@kdean2406]

This is the best video on rulers and measurements I have seen, Thank you for all you do.

[@gingerdunbar3428]

Fantastic! Love your teaching style -- simple and informative without being condescending. HUUUUUGGGGGGSSSS!!!!!🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

[@mjsews]

Very helpful lesson. A brand new quilter would come out of this well informed about rulers for sure and I learned a few things too. Just got one of those mysterious Creative Grids rulers so thanks for those hints! Great job Becca! 👍👍

[@brendabixler3911]

Thank you so much Becca you are the greatest

[@cheryldisotell7624]

Love the way you explained it

[@angelastoutenger7944]

Great information Becca! Thank you.

[@sbrickett]

Great info, Becca, thanks

[@nancyguss6739]

Thanks Becca. My late husband always helped me with the markings on my rulers

[@sewbecca]

big hugs, Nancy!

[@loretta4618]

You are an AMAZING TEACHER. I learned about the 1/8th inch awhile back, but you explained it better. Thank You.

[@sewbecca]

Thank you!!!!

[@StitchinWithSue]

Very informative. Thank you for clearing measurements up. I struggle with rulers but feel much better now. ❤️

[@sonyajones3624]

Thank you. I learned a lot from this video. I am still learning. Your videos have helped me so much. Hugs

[@joannlloyd9325]

Love this series of videos! I had been garment sewing for many years. I took one quilting class but never learned the basics. I am learning something from all of your videos. I would like to see you do one on ironing or pressing!

[@sewbecca]

Good tip. Karen Brown with just get it done quilts has an AWESOME pressing video!!

[@monkeyvshark5575]

That was great 👍 The1/2” on one side of the Creative Grids rulers and 1/4” on the other always threw me when I first started but now I love them. Very informational and very clear Thanks!!!

[@reneecpkrapp6247]

Great video very informative

[@paulasizemore9250]

Thankyou so much Becca I feel I understand the rulers now hugs tytyty!

[@maryhense5895]

Absolutely loved this video! You have a great way of explaining things that make perfect sense. I just received a couple Creative Grid rulers and put them aside, as all those markings made my head spin not knowing what they mean. Now I can pull them out and use them. THANKS!

[@nancylaventure2436]

Hey Becca. Awesome teaching video!! Great explanation of the ruler! I think a newby at sewing. Oils absolutely follow you and get it correct!! 😁😁

[@lovelyls1]

Thank you! 🙏 🎉 🎂 🎁

[@maryfinigian9554]

Thank you so much for this video!

[@marshaturner9935]

I use the Creative Grids rulers and you have helped me understand the measurements a lot better. Thank you.

[@sewbecca]

I’m glad it helped, Marsha!

[@37debbiek]

This was a really good video. You're a a good teacher. I found it interesting about the Missouri Star Quilt rulers because Jenny is left handed and I had not thought about them having left-handed or right-handed rulers. Good to know.

[@sewbecca]

Thank you, Debbie! Jenny mentioned in one of her videos that she was left handed and I know she designed their rules - so I’m guessing it was intentional

[@janeduncan7525]

Thank you

[@loiscasey1338]

I thought it was really interesting about how some rulers could be designed for left handers. I’m a right handed person so maybe I’m inclined to use the rulers that are set up pleasing to my right hand ness.

[@rsbyrd929929]

Great

[@marybuchholz6186]

Good video Becca. FYI Jenny of Missouri Star is left handed.

[@nancykugler4666]

I love the way you explain stuff. Were you a teacher in another life?

[@sewbecca]

Hahaha, probably! Thanks for the compliment!

[@paulaweston5242]

I LOVE Optima (O'lipfa) brand rulers. I have a 6 1/2" given to me by a friend and it squares pieces/blocks up beautifully. I cant seem to find them anywhere except occasionally on Ebay, in sizes I am not in need of. Is this some obscure European brand?

[@sewbecca]

I don't know - I've NEVER heard of the brand before!

[@marierossler7325]

I hate when KZbinr’s use mat markings for cutting. Measure your mat and you will be surprised how far out the markings maybe compared to your ruler. I flip my mat over to the unlined side.
