Fun to see what everyone does with their rulers - I only have a few long ones and they really are the ones I use the majority of the time, so they stay on my cutting table ready to use. The smaller specialty rulers - easy angle, companion angle, hexies, squares etc. I keep in a large ring binder that I have page protectors in - I slide a ruler and it's instructions in each pocket. Easy to flip through to find whatever ruler I need for my next project.

Hi Rennie

my husband made a stand for me from a piece of pine and dowels.

For ironing, I use a large dresser (from thrift store) without a mirror with the big board on top of it. The short end is against the wall, like a peninsula island. The other end and the back of the dresser are painted the same color as the walls. Command hooks does a great job of storing rulers of all sizes on those two sides.

I hang all of my rulers, accordin to shape. Some of them, when purchased, don't have a hole in them so I just use my drill with a fairly large bit and drill a hole in them.

I store my longer "go to" rulers (which are wide) between my sewing machine table leg and a three drawer storage cabinet which are right next to each other. The rulers stand straight. The smaller ones I have in a drawer in that same storage cabinet. This setup is v. handy for me. Those rulers I don't use often I hang on one of those rings with a hook , hanging on a floor lamp right behind my sewing machine. I was sorry I had gotten one of those rings, but eventually found a place for it to hang the rulers. My sewing area is at the end of a spare bedroom so I have to have everything close at hand. Works for me. Good luck in picking and choosing some of these fabulous ideas the Board has to offer!!!

Bought one of these at a Quilt Show in South Oz recently. In my sewing room they hang from peg board. DH made a free standing triangular stand from the peg board from my instructions. I love this design because I can have it on the table near where I'm working.

That is neat. I have one with my sewing notions in it that I made. Never thought about using it for rulers. Thanks for sharing.

My DH makes these for my quilter friends. Because of the angle he puts on the slot where you place the ruler, you can put it on the wall or on a table or shelf.

It works well for me.

That's what I have. I love it! You're going to love it too. This is an "in-progress" picture; there's a second rail above this one now, all my scissors are now on the top rail, rulers are on the bottom rail and my long rulers hang from the top rail over on the right hand side, down the gap.

There's a slotted holder on the table for some smaller rulers, and a lot of my bulky rulers are in a holder that sits in the window. The window is exactly the right width to fit the holder, and since it's slightly below the table height it's sort of a box that corrals them all nicely.

(The window is dual-pane, has film on it, and is blocked outside by a shed so even in the hottest summer months it doesn't get warm enough to warp anything.)

Here is the holder I made for mine:
