When I began quilting, my first ruler was a 6 x 12" Fiskars. Love that ruler but the markings are gradually wearing off of it. Then last week it hit the floor and it cracked. I'd like to replace it but not finding one exactly like it (perfect condition, of course). I have another with these measurements but the markings are not as nice as my old orange one. Is this another of those--good idea but they don't make it any more items?
Exactly the same problem here; loved the old Fiskars thin-lined orange ruler, but not the fact that they painted on the lines.
I found the relatively new (to me anyway) same sized ruler from Olfa was a good replacement for me. These rulers are opaque/frosted and I was worried about being able to see well with them. NOT a problem!
They are sold in many locations so price compare. Mine was bought at Mid-Atlantic Quilt Show.
Here is the Olfa site.

Two rulers that I love are the Olfa frosted like the one Jan mentioned and Creative Grid ones. They both are easy to see and don't slip. Olfa also makes a non frosted one that is fine but not as good as the frosted one so when you're shopping know that there is a difference. The neon ones and those with too many lines are too distracting to me.
