TrueCut Ruler System
The TrueCut ruler system works hand-in-hand with TrueCut rotary cutters to solve a problem most quilters do not realize they have: blade angle inconsistency. A track built into the ruler edge guides the TrueCut cutter at a perfect 90-degree angle to the fabric, preventing the slight blade lean that causes inaccurate cuts and ragged edges. For quilters switching from TrueCut cutters, the difference in cut quality is immediately noticeable. The rulers also function perfectly well as standalone rulers with any rotary cutter — the markings are clear, the acrylic is sturdy, and the non-slip back works as expected. The track system is a bonus, not a requirement. Available in the most common quilting sizes with consistent quality across the range.
