What is the difference between Omnigrid and Omnigrip rulers?

Print ThisPrint ThisEmail ThisEmail This

The original Omnigrid® rulers are printed using a patented 2-color process of black and yellow ink which makes it easier to see lines on all different colors of fabric.

Omnigrip was developed to help eliminate slipping on fabric. A non-slip solution is added to the green ink that helps provide a slip resistant surface that gently grips fabric when slight pressure is applied. The green ink highlights a 1/8-inch section along the outside of the ruler, and 1/8 inch on either side of the inch lines giving you a great visual ¼ inch section for checking seam allowances as well.
