What is the ruler made of and how thick is it?

The Janome Ditch Ruler is made from clear acrylic that is 1/4 inch thick. This thickness is ideal for longarm quilting because it provides stability and durability while allowing you to see your fabric and seam lines clearly through the ruler.

Is this ruler suitable for beginners?
