    I have some that came with my Elna Quilter's Dream some years age that I have not used. Still possible I guess. I also have a couple purchased by mistake, didn't understand what I was doing yet. There again, it's still possible, sort of like a 'stash.'

    I am afraid I have a bunch of them too. My husband loves to buy me rulers of every kind. I appreciate it. But I really don't need that many rulers.

    Yes, I bought a 60* ruler to made a OBW,that project is coming up soon! and a Dresen plate ruler... that was 3 years ago, still nice & neat in the package, then there's the flying geese ruler, that I bought in the late 90's.... I received the free DVD from McCalls (?) Quilting, or which ever magazine sent that out... there was a section on using templates glued to your ruler to make those odd cuts, it was genius! I don't know why I never saw it before, it has saved me so much time! you cut out your shape from paper, use rubber cement, to the underside of your regular ruler, make your cuts. When you're done it comes right off, if the cement was dry you don't have any mess on your ruler.

    If it is the ruler I'm thinking of, it works good for putting a wavy edge on fleece blankets. That's about all I've used mine for.

    Of course. Even found some I had bought in Paducah that were still in a shopping bag. It's a serious illness we all have!
