OK, I confess. We got a square-up ruler in a "starter" basket that we purchased early in our quilting adventure. I understood the concept, but thought it was strange that the ruler wasn't clear; obviously it's going to be hard to use. I packed it away in a garage sale box and purchased a Creative Grids square up ruler when we needed one. Now I'll have to dig the brown ruler out of the garage sale stuff and peel the paper off. And Patrice is right!

Yep been there done that. I'd had my ruler about 3 years when I dropped it rushing stuff to the car after a workshop in the pouring rain. It got soaked and when I came to dry it the paper just slid off!! I felt a right numpty.

Well ladies, don't feel TOO bad. I've had a sewing machne for over 20 years and until last month when I hurt my right foot, I did not realize that I can unplug the foot pedal and us a button instead to start and stop the sewing. How dense do you have to be??? I Cannot Believe It.

thanks for sharing your story, as see you helped others out on this board so they know to peel off the paper

Well today was working on cutting some fabric and just happened to turn it over. there was a portion missing from one corner so I took a closer look. Well low and behold, the paper backing was peeling off. So I just peeled it the rest of the way. Which is what you were supposed to do after you bought the stupid thing. So lets just say that I am now feeling really foolish all these years. Good thing I have never purchased another square ruler that size. Anyone else do this too? :roll: :lol: :oops: :XD:
