I was looking around in DH's workshop and saw a long metal ruler. He said it isn't a ruler it's a straight edge. I thought this is just what I need to mark some cross hatching on a quilt top and to use to square up the quilt. It was 4 ft long. I went to Lowes to buy a new one (his was dirty and he didn't want to have to look for it when he needed it). I came home with a 4 ft and a 6 ft for less then $20. They are metal but not too rigid or heavy. 2 1/2" wide.
