I had a fairly new 6x24 ruler last winter when we went to Az. First time to get together with quilting friends in club house. I had everything on a luggage carrier, with the wheels. I proped the ruler on back and when I went to tip to pull, guess what happened? You are right, it slid down and when I tipped I heard a crack. my ruler was in two...Took my plexiglas blade and cut the end off. Now I also have a 6x15" ruler. Lesson learned.
