I was in Wally world last night thinking of picking up a new ruler as my 6 x 24 has a slight dip in it. I thought I was going to be able to get an Omnigrid type again, but no they had what I thought are flimsy June Tailor rulers. I passed.

the older Olipfa rulers were bad about getting Shaved off as it were...
of course they are still my favorite rulers...I am slowly replacing them with Omnigrid ones...but you still have to be careful..

>>After I said I couldn't find one, I thought I probably hadn't looked online. I did find one by googling o'lipfa (that is the brand of mine, too). It wasn't a place I've ordered from before, but I'll probably order a couple to replace mine. They had a lot of tools with lots of different brands. Here where I found it:

Some of my rulers did get worn and my "straight" cuts were no longer straight.

As painful as it is, sometimes one does have to replace them.

I am planning to start a quilt and am buying supplies I think I will need. Yesterday, I bought a Super Quickline 6" x 24" ruler by Nancy Crow at a discount store here in Florida for $2.99. The store is called "Tuesday Morning".

We don't have those stores here. Was the ruler you bought new or used? Did they have anymore of them? I've been looking for one.
