    I just dropped my ruler and chipped the tip. It is a 6 1/2 x 13 inch EASY RULE my Sharon Hultgren purchased at JoAnns several years ago. JoAnns still carry the 6 1/2 square and the 6 1/2 x 24 inch ruler but I've not seen this size lately. Does anyone know if it is still being produced or will I need to take one of the big boys and cut it down to size?? My love for this ruler is the fact that the numbers are BIG and EASY to READ. If you haven't given this ruler a try, check it out next time you are out shopping. Adding the sandpaper dots to the back made it PERFECT!!

    I just got one about a year ago, so I know it's still being made. Forgot where I bought it, might have been Tuesday Morning, or possibly Joanns. Why don't you ask in your JoAnns if they'll order one?

    This is my favorit go-to ruler as well! If I chipped mine, I'd want to replace it as well.

    you will just fall in love with those BIG BIG BIG NUMBERS!!!!! I do a lot of 6 1/2 square eye spy quilts and using the 13 inch ruler means I can 2 blocks at the same time!! Plus, it's just a nice length for scrap cutting....so much easier than dragging the big 24 incher out to cut an 8 inch strip.

    thanks for all the websites.....you guys are the BEST!!

    Jodi,
    Not to hijack the thread but I have to tell you I laugh every time I see your signature "in Leavenworth". I always think I hope she means the town, not the prison. :D
