The first one of this ruler is decades old. it was discontinued for years and then new versions were made. I have the original version. Back then paying $49.99 was unheard of for buying a quilting tool and no online ordering. The shops that carried this was few because they wouldn't sell fast and took up a lot of shelf space. We only had a couple of sewing catalogs or magazine ads to know about the new products. I remember how hard it was to find them in shops. I had to take the ad or catalog to the LQS and show what I was asking about. Really most of the time the store owner would say just shake her head and say I doubt that will sell here. It took years to get the local LQS to even understand what pre cut EPP papers were! Even now when I ask about a new a new quilting product at a quilt shop and get the deer in the headlight look I walk out. Go home and order it online.
