Remember when everyone had bread slicer stands...to use with bread made by machine? I use the wooden slicer to hold rulers. You can find them in thrift stores.Can also use old record holder for rulers.
I use a quilt stand for strips when making scrappy quilts. Set beside me,it has to open rows of wood for quilts & holds the strips...easy to see the color/size needed.
Harbor Freight gets $6.98 for ruler handles that a LQS charges $20 for.Pat Ce
