I have a wooden slotted ruler rack, but I don't remember where I bought it. It was several years ago. I know it was mail order and it couldn't have been too expensive or I wouldn't have bought it. I just saw it in the most recent Clotilde catalog for about $15 and I'm sure it's available on their website http://www.clotilde.com
It is 4" x 20" x 5/8" high and has 5 slots. It hold all 7 of my rulers and I consider it well worth what I paid. Maybe you can find it at your local fabric store.

I went to Office-Max and purchased a 3 tiered letter rack, I think thats what it is called. It is different heights, smaller in the front and larger in the back. Very visible and quick to get to on my table. Oh yeah, they cost $6.00 each.

I use one or more "command" (peel-off-able) hooks.
The first one is on my fridge and will hold at least another mat and a couple of rulers.
The second on is attached to my "sewing" desk and I used to use it to hang smaller rulers from but now its for scraps and also a small flashlight for seeing into the bobbin area when using black thread!
Those hooks are so useful :thumbup:
