This substantial square ruler stands out right away because of its distinctive curved shape: a notched hip curve on the left side that flows smoothly into a long, straight edge. The transparent plastic lets you see your pattern paper or fabric underneath clearly, so you can mark exactly where you need to. The black markings with centimeter graduations and angle guides from 90 to 150 degrees stay sharp and easy to read, even with heavy use at the cutting table.

The square ruler is made from sturdy, clear plastic that can take a knock without warping or breaking.

The edges are smoothly finished, so your fabric or paper won't get damaged as you slide and turn it. A tool that stands up to daily use in a busy studio.
