What to do with my old 12 1/2" square ruler? It has been a faithful friend for many years and I now have a new one on the way in the mail.
Do I toss it out in the trash like so much garbage or should I have a funeral and respect the end of a faithful friend?? :XD: :XD: :XD: :XD: Your thoughts are appreciated!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: |
where did you find to order your ruler from?
I would hold on to it!, cover it with some batting to make a small design pad so you can use it to photograph your blocks it is attached to you!

Is there anyway to use a sharpie and redraw the lines????

I had some 24 x 6 inch quilters rule rulers that were no longer accurate. As much as it pained me, I threw them in the trash.
It didn't seem right to pass it on to someone else when it was "off" |
I would bury it.................who knows it might come back to life!
L.O.L. doesn't it break your heart?? I would much rather wear something out, then let it collect dust on the shelf, RIGHT?? :roll: |

Nothing on Ebay and other sites I tried. I'll have to remember Widget Supply. I like the suggestion to use it as a base for a board. I was kind of thinking of cutting it down and using the center part that isn't so worn. I can cut it with a jigsaw. Not always real neat but I can sand it even. |
I would stick it back for that time you need to cut and can't find your ruler. Maybe I'm the only one that looses stuff in my work room.:)

I will find a use for it probably. I have made sooooo many hotpads (hundreds of them in 12 years)checkbook covers billfolds etc!!! I have used it well!! All I can say is Fiskars makes good products that last!! I found another one just like it so I hope it lasts me just as long! |
Put it in a frame and hang it in your sewing room. Isn't it silly that we get so attached to items like this, I seriously have this problem.
