I was talking about the 18 inch square rulers with slots every 1/2 inch. Great for cutting strips accurately without having to move the fabric

I love the "Sixth Finger", tool I bought at the Clotilde.com website. I use it to keep from sewing through my fingers. Right now it is on sale for less than 10 dollars. I also love my supreme slider mat for free motion work.It makes moving the quilt top so much easier.

the Hera tool is a bone or ceramic piece with an edge that you mark fabric with it makes a line that you can use to quilt with and no actual marks to have to remove.

OK!! I am drooling....pics please, at least I can enjoy dreaming of such great equipment. "One day" is coming, just not as quickly as I would like it to. :?

question:
I have the june taylor ruler that's 8"x10". Is the 12"x16" ruler made of the same thin plastic? It seems awfully flimsy and way too flexible when I use it--I just tried because so many of you like it. Is the larger one stiffer or the same?
Thanks!

my friend and i both had June Tailor's 12 inch ruler. her's is an older one and i noticed that her ruler is not as flexible as mine. her ruler feels like it is made with more plastice while mine has more, i don't know? epoxy perhaps. my friend has broken hers and i bought her a new one to replace it. she had said she really like the new one with its more flexible material.

I'm not sure if I have a new or an old one, but mine is very thin and it feels as if the rotary cutter could cut right through it. Does anyone know if the larger one is stiffer? Has anyone cut through their ruler?
