I feel really Stupid.

Been there, done that, only it was with our new log burner, could not work out what the awful smell was when we first lit it up, it turned out to be the protective backing on the flu pipe which was supposed to be peeled off before lighting the fire in the fire box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did we feel stupid, no one told us and it was invisible to the eye, we could have set the whole house on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

whoever thought it was necessary to glue paper backs to rulers, knowing they had to be peeled off to use them, is the idiot. :hunf:

Well today was working on cutting some fabric and just happened to turn it over. there was a portion missing from one corner so I took a closer look. Well low and behold, the paper backing was peeling off. So I just peeled it the rest of the way. Which is what you were supposed to do after you bought the stupid thing. So lets just say that I am now feeling really foolish all these years. Good thing I have never purchased another square ruler that size. Anyone else do this
too? :roll: :lol: :oops: :XD:

You are not alone! I recently bought a 6x24 ruler and it had a paper backing. I couldn't see the fabric through the paper so took a chance and ripped off the paper. To this day, I thought I had broken some unspoken quilting law by doing this. Glad to find out I didn't! LOL
