Ruler worn away
#1
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.

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.

Some of my rulers seem to have a micro-bit shaved off along the middle of them as well after years of use.

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.
