Milward Patchwork Ruler - 16 x 60cm

The dual-color grid provides excellent contrast and visibility on both light and dark fabrics, making it easier to read measurements accurately regardless of your material.

This ruler primarily features centimeter markings. While you can estimate inch equivalents, it is optimized for metric measurements.

The ruler has specific markings along its edges at 0.3cm, 0.5cm, and 0.7cm. Align your cutting line with the fabric edge and use these markings to guide your rotary cutter for the desired seam allowance.

Yes, the scale can be read from left to right or vice versa, and measurements can be taken from any starting point, making it versatile for all users.

Wipe the ruler with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the markings.

Yes, it is useful for any craft or sewing project requiring precise fabric measurement and cutting, such as garment making, appliqué, or general sewing.

Milward offers other sizes, such as the 10 x 45cm ruler, which may be more suitable for smaller projects.

Ensure the ruler is clean and dry. Adjust the lighting in your workspace or try rotating the ruler to utilize the contrasting grid color best suited for your fabric.

Store the ruler flat in a climate-controlled environment. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or near heat sources.

Ensure you are using a sharp rotary cutter and cutting on a self-healing mat. While durable, excessive pressure from a dull blade can cause minor scoring over time.
