Have any of you had this problem?
I was just triming the borders of my latest quilt with my 6" x 24" ruler when I noticed it seemed to be slightly thinner from 1" to about 6"s. I think it has been worn away after using it for the past few years to rotary cut fabric. Now I know what my latest Joann's coupon is going for. May in Jersey |
I've noticed some wear on a couple of mine too. One of them (my favorite) I've not been able to find to replace. It is square on one end and comes to a 45* angle on the other end. I love it because it is a very manageable size.

I haven't had that problem with any of mine. That could really mess up your cuts!

This makes me want to go check mine out for wear. Thanks for the heads up.

Some of my rulers seem to have a micro-bit shaved off along the middle of them as well after years of use. Jan in VA |
Time to replace the ruler when it gets scratched and chipped.

FYI This summer I found on similar--a Clearview Ruler Model # 03645--black on one side; yellow on the other--6" wide and longest edge 12". I should've put some of that vinyl no slip on the one side as my markings are starting to wear off already. |

Thanks feather and bj. This is such a handy size and I used the 45 degree cut all the time.
