Choosing a Ruler for Your Work
Choose a ruler by what you need to measure or draw.
- Use a straight edge for length measurements and straight lines.
- Use an L-square for perpendicular lines and pattern corners.
- Use a T-square against a straight drawing-board edge.
- Use a French or hip curve to connect curved pattern points.
Match the units to your instructions and the length to your work surface. Check the selected product for material, graduations and dimensions.
