    I hid them so well I don't know where I put them.
    They will show up one of these days.

    I use a 6 1/2 by 24 to cut rolled out dough for danish pastry, etc in the kitchen.

    If you have a lucky quilting friend who has to be with sick family members from time to time, buys a second vacation home, or otherwise relocates from time to time; the gift of these rulers would be a Godsend.

    Use for straight edge when marking a quilt. Another "extra" is left in my rolling bag to take to workshops, etc. One less thing to remember to take.

    To make any ruler non stick.

    I have also used skate board tape can be used for that. Just cut to size you want.

    I haven't bought any new rulers to replace old ones since I've been quilting, about 15 years.

    I keep them. I keep hoping that one of my daughters will someday need them.
