Sure there are at least a half dozen other 6 inch rulers in arms reach - but they just ain't the same as the 'Favorite'. And we go bat crazy looking for it. I look at these times as a Cardio Workout. Gets the blood pumping and brings up the heart rate. LOL

I understand your pain, I have SIX 1X6" rulers because I use them so much.
Mine are the standard yellow and black and Cottage, black and pink.

Those taylor colors look recent, how long have you had it?

Had it for years! It is clear with distinct markings for quarter inch which makes it perfect. Not much for 1/8 or 1/16..They just clutter up my eyes...does have tiny red markings for 1/8 though but so small it doesn't bother me. Guess they don't make them anymore.

I bought one of those round hangers that you hang templates and rulers on. I got tired of them going here and there and under and in between. I just hang it on a shelf and it's right above my cutting table.

I think that's a great idea...better than pinning it to my clothes with a safety pin....LOL

I lost the middle size ruler 1/2 inch wide of a three piece set. I searched everywhere and couldn't find it. I talked about it so much to my military son, he would say just buy a new set and I would say no I have the two others but the middle one was my favorite ...well I guess he knew I was too stubborn because he ordered and sent me a whole new 3 piece set. LOL I love that kid but I'm still keeping my eyes open for the one I lost! By the way my son and I do face time on the IPad while we are working around the house and talk about anything and everything...sometimes serious stuff sometimes funny. It's like having a best friend in the room with you, you never know what's going to be the subject next.

My favorite is a Creative Grids 2.5 x 6. I have two of them one for my sewing room and one that travels with my sewing to UFO's, Guild, etc. Last October we had our yearly "LOCK-IN" from 6:00 p.m. Friday to 7:00 a.m. Saturday. My travelling CG ruler went missing. I searched everywhere and everything I took to the lock-in to no avail. In June I was reorganizing my van in preparation for "craft camp" and there was my missing ruler in between the second row bucket seats. So happy it found me again.
