Lots of them. I had to get them when they were available and when the price was right, so I don't stew (much) about the fact that I haven't used them yet. These include what I refer to as "gimmick" ones, like "square in a square", that I saw used on quilting shows, but now I've forgotten all the little tricks, etc., about them that I need to know and instructions enclosed with the gimmicks are very limited. I have all the quilting shows (re: using those rulers) on videotape from the days of yesteryear, but I have about 30 tapes, each with dozens of shows on them. I have them cataloged, but it would still be a major search to find anything specific.

I have lots of unused ones also. I keep figuring when I retire I will have more time to "play" with them. Like others have stated, I'm glad I got them when they were available and for a good price. I usually get my rulers when they are on sale. I always seem to need to replace my 6 x 24. I guess I use it so much that the sides aren't straight any more. I do rotate the ruler so I am using all four sides as my straight edge. Does anyone else have that problem?

Oh yes, I forgot about having that one. I have a video and a couple of books too. I think they've been around here well over ten years. Egads!!! :oops:

I got the 9 or 10 degree wedge ruler for Christmas. I'm going to use that this summer when I'm in the mood to make Christmas tree skirts. :D

Oh yes, the wavy ruler, log cabin rulers both sizes, others that sounded good at quilt shows that were bought and now collect dust. I still use my 12" and 24" long rulers all the time.
