i like the metal ones for doing hems....you can iron over them and get a crisp edge ...but i still buy all the wooden ones i find ...just a few weeks ago i found a handcock fabric one ...couldn't pass it up

I sold 8 or 9 to a collector who displays them and I still have more than I need. Dad had a retirement job helping at local lumberyard and have two 4 ft heavy ones from there so they are special to me. Yardsticks are still given away at our state fair.

I needed four of them to make some sewing pattern holders a while back. Lowe's had them for $.99. They were in the paint department. I can remember getting them free just about everywhere, but those days are sadly gone. Sigh!
