I have no guilt when replacing my quilting tools. I have a bin full of old rulers that I waver on taking to guild free table. They are old and used so do I want a new quilter to try to use them? None of the long time members will take old used rulers.

If they are curved - a newbie would not think to check for that - and I would hate to add to a beginner's frustration.

I totally understand about the rulers.
FYI: At our Sew day on Friday one of the girls was talking about the Accu-cut go??? Don't have one, may have used wrong name. She explained to be careful when cutting layers of strips because they will stretch and then be too short to use. The roller does the stretching. One layer cuts fine.

I tend to cut "in the middle" of my rulers, rather than starting at an end - which may explain why they wore down more there than at the ends.
I think I noticed the most "wear" on the Quilter's Rule rulers- the ones with the big, thick ridges on the bottom.
