This 6.5 inch x 24.5 inch rectangle features easy-to-read black and white markings printed in 1 inch grids marked in 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch increments. Use the easy-to-read, numerical black numbers (printed on white dots) and the 1/4 inch grip sides to cut whole inches. These 1/4 inch grip sides accentuate the dashed lines printed 1/4 inch away from two adjoining edges to aid in trimming seam allowances. The ruler includes 30, 45 and 60 degree angles. White horizontal and vertical lines are printed on the rectangle so the centre of the ruler is easily distinguishable
