Which rulers did you buy that you find hard to use - or don't use at all?

I bought some of the triangle ones that I have trouble understanding the markings on.

I have a triangle ruler and a dresden plate ruler that I've never used. You never know though, it might come in handy one day!! :lol:

I use them all one time or another.

i have a 4" x 36" ruler. i thought it would come in handy for cutting all the away across the width of folded yardage. turns out i'm not coordinated enough to keep the ruler straight over that long a cut. :lol:

I have a triangle ruler that I have never used. Saw it in a demo at a quilt show and looked so fun when they did it. Got it home and wondered where my head was when I bought it.

i have a marti mitchell kaleido ruler. Love it, but not as interested in it as I thought I would be. i have a 60 degree triangle that i love though.

I have those circle wedge ruler, never used, but I do not regret buying them, just waiting for the right fabric to move me out of the chair to the rulers.

I love rulers. I guess I just like collecting them because I only use a portion of what I have but if a new one comes out I will buy it.

I have the Eleanor Burns..Flying Geese Ruler..waste of my money....there are way better ones out there.

I have one like Patrice's that I can't use very successfully. I find I'm too short for it. I can't reach that far anyway. My favorite is 5" wide and about 14" long.
