Advise on sewing machine?

So what is that type of ruler good for vs the regular kind?

I'm answering this based on the assumption that you mean the kind of ruler everyone has in their kitchen drawer...

Essentially, it allows complex plots for your cuts, allowing different sizes, shapes, and all with consistency.

Wife has one of the quilting rulers and two plotting boards.

You also want something clear. You will also need a cutting board and rotary cutter.

I recommend missouri star quilting company.
