Amazing how often this happens. I have one quilting ruler I was using to draw and doodle about 5 years ago, discovered when my drawing looked off-kilter that 2 sides are about 1/16th of an inch off. That doesn't seem like much, but I love to make very intricate miniature quilts, and hyper-accuracy is very important.
I bought another ruler about 3 months ago, discovered it too was off by 1/16th of an inch. Promptly returned to the store where the manager and I looked at the 4 other rulers in stock. Only one was accurate.
Apparently quality control has gone the way of the dodo bird....
