Trying not to appear shameless :oops: , I suppose if you were brave enough to show us yours, I can show you mine, ha ha. While you're sporting a whopping 4 x 8' area there, I have a more modest 28 x 48" board, thus the "overflow" areas below it. LOL Here's mine:

Ruler storage - yes, some pegs have 2 or more rulers on them... :)

I use my plain old regular ruler for almost everything. I have a couple specialty rulers, but they are easy to use. That's the only kind I like.

I have gotten a couple of rulers that were "different" from the majority of my other rulers. The measurements seemed to be "off"

It made sense to get rid of them. I confuse easily enough as it is.

I have a couple of triangle ones that I still don't know how/where to measure with

I confuse easily too, :roll: but I'm not ready to get rid of any of my tools just yet. :D Bless your heart.

I don't have a lot of rulers I think I have 5 or 6 that I use frequently...but I have a lot of presser feet, a number of them were purchased in the quest to find the "perfect" 1/4 inch foot LOL I have looked at many rulers, but put the money towards templates instead :roll:

Take heart amma, you have not been on that quest alone, sad to say. :roll: Multiple your quest by at least three for my different machines - before I learned some of them were interchangeable, but some are not. :?

I have jumped into the template arena yet. What kind(s) are you collecting?
