What a great idea! You're so clever.

Wow,what a great winner idea.
Can you just imagine how much this would sell for @ a quilt shop ?

Great idea. I have one of those that held my record albums.

Good idea.

A couple of weeks ago my sister and I were in a thrift shop and found a recipe book holder that has slots cut in it similar to the wooden ruler holders sold at shows. It is shorter than the others, but still works and now I have my rulers under control!! It sits on my cutting table and now they are readily at my fingertips. Prior to this I had them on a corkboard above my machine and they were too heavy for the tacks to hold them and were constantly falling.

Great idea!

very very clever! I use something similiar - holds folders in place but one can't see the smaller rulers/templates as well you could with yours.....

thanks ladies for all the comps!!! I like 2 think outside the box to save $$ and recycle items.

Great idea!

Great idea! I have been trying to find something to put my rulers in. Now I have to go on the hunt for one!

oh my, i have not laughed so much in ages. thankyou lol

What a great idea. Quilters are so 'thrifty'.

What a great idea! Thank you for posting this!

Good eye!!!
:thumbup:

That is a brilliant idea! Now I'm going to have to keep an eye out for a small one at a thrift store - if I can clean up my room enough to allocate some desk space lol.

Brilliant.

Thanks for sharing--I'm going to keep my eyes open for one!

Where do you keep your 45's?

LOL!!!!!
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Great idea!

they make great pattern holders - cd's too

What a great idea, thanks for sharing and love the pictures of it with all of your rulers

What a great idea will have to keep an eye out for one.

I'll be looking for such a holder. Great idea!

Great idea I have one of the holders and they don't hold very many rulers. I'm going to be on the hunt!!

What a brilliant idea!! It is so nice and organized. :thumbup:

good idea ..send it to Fons and Porter, they may use it on the show ! who knows .. been watching their tips section and lots of ideas for sure !

I found a bread slicer rack, they come in freestanding and collapsible styles that work great with our rulers too!

Very clever

Great idea!! I was using a file holder for my rulers. At least that is what I think it is called. You buy them where the office supplies are. It did great but I wanted something that didn't stick out as far on my table so I bought a regular ruler rack....of course, it doesn't hold as many as the file holder!

Great idea. Do you have anymore ideas? Let's start a post to see who can come up with thrifty ideas. I found an empty scrapbook holder at a yard sale. Use it to put patterns in.

Excellent idea - thanks for sharing. :thumbup:

I agree! Thank you for sharing!! A great idea!

That's a wonderful idea! :-)

This is not being cheap, this is making more money available for fabric and quilting!

What a cool, ingenious idea. I use to have a rack jusgt like that when I was a teeny booper. It was used to hold my old records and sat on top of the "hi fi"....now I ask you, am I dating myself or what. I'm sure there are youngersters out there asking "what is a record" and what is a hi fi?" Thanks for sharing.

What a GREAT IDEA............I have a couple of those (smaller) hanging around in the basement somewhere,,,,I will have to hunt them up.

Such a nifty idea. Thanks for another reason to stop at our local thrift stores.

Mine is an off cut of wood that my DH made some saw cuts in. The cuts are the same size as the rulers.

here is a bag I suggested to buy for your machine when u need to tote it
