I don't use a ruler, it's just not my style.

I just eyeball it. All the years I used to sew I got very good at knowing small measurements. Now for something bigger like arranging stuff on a wall I do measure.
For placement... no. I usually place things without adhesive and move them around until I am completely satisfied and then will put the adhesive on and tweak the placement. Now cutting is a different story... I use a ruler to measure and cut pp and cardstock that is going on the page, and also to measure what size I want my pictures to be.
All the time. If you look all my layouts look pretty much the same. I use the ruler about 99% of the time too. I have tried layouts where the pictures are off center with lots of embellies to filll the space but its hard since it is outside of my box.

Never and I am a perfectionist. LOL.
Not usually. Maybe I should try it though...

Yes I do to. If I am doing a straight layout it must be straight. If I don't seem to be able to get it I will tilt it.
I'm an "eye-baller" for sure! I only use a ruler (on my trimmer) when making mats.
I used to be a "celebrity cherry", but now I'm in re-hab...... Holy Carp!
Sometimes, but if it is not available, I just eyeball it.

nope, never use a ruler, I eyeball it or just stick it down.
I have to! I am horrible with judging things; if I think its straight, GUARANTEED its crooked!!!

I use the ruler on my cutter, but otherwise I don't measure...just eyeball.

I use a ruler only if I want something perfectly placed, such as the mats under photos, a border, etc.

I recently purchased the new Tim Holtz ruler and have been using it a fair bit -- particularly for perfect placement of brads, etc. The little pinhole markers on the ruler are so very cool for proper positioning of the brads. Love it!

I need my ruler 99.9% of the time (anal retentive)
