i learned my lesson about not checking rulers. i bought a 4 package set of rulers, 8 1/2" , 6 1/2," 4 1/2" and 2 1/2' from joann's and did not notice until i got home that the 2 1/2' ruler had been cut out of the package. i returned to joann's and they gave me the full 4 package set. lesson learned...i now check everything before purchasing.
