12" Parallel Rolling Ruler / Glider (Out of Stock)
This amazing multi-tool moves smoothly in increments you set, making it easy to create calligraphy guidelines, draw shapes such as circles and squares, mark parallel lines, and more.
Tips for use: Draw your first guideline. Then make a single column of dots or small marks for each subsequent line. Line the rolling ruler or parallel guide on the first mark. Then you roll down and draw your guidelines at your marks. The ruler keeps the lines parallel. Mark your paper using a ruler, template or dividers with tick marks. Great for drawing guidelines for text blocks on larger works where a T-square is not practical.
Also available in 14".

Easy
Very easy to use and straightforward. A must for two or more straight lines in near proximity -- QUICK, easy straight lines. I'm glad I got the longer length.

Multiple Uses
There are multiple ways to use a rolling ruler. You can easily check a YouTube video on it. I've only used it to draw guidelines after watching one of my calligraphy teachers use it. It's the best thing; I regret having bought all other guideline rulers prior to this.
