The right tool for the right job

[Marianne G.]

Whereas I am right peeved because my favourite 6"x18" ruler is now no longer true for cutting with . I was making some blocks for a swap and they were all coming up way too small to be acceptable for posting (but they might well end up in mug rugs :wink: ) The main gripe I have is that the company (June Tailor) no longer makes rulers with this particular set of markings on (heavy black lines for the inch, light black lines for the half inch, blue lines for the quarter inch and dotted red lines for the eighth - I really like having the eighths marked) because it is absolutely my favourite set of markings to work with, out of the various rulers I have.

Sorry to hear that, Rosemary. What a nuisance! I suppose that over the years we slowly but surely grind off the edges of our rulers just like the mats get worn out. The way your ruler is marked sounds really useful. Pity it is discontinued. Hopefully you will find another brand that will provide you with clearly marked 1/8th inches.
