I had never heard a name for it - and did not know they existed, but thought how unique if someone created something like this cause so many times I've come up to a point like this needing exactly something like this - love the idea!

I have a Center tape measure 120" from Golden Threads ~

Also have a 36" center Omnigrid ruler. I received it yrs ago at Puyallup, WA Sewing Expo as a 'hand out' for taking a class.
I have used both. The centering saves me calculating and figuring.

WoW. Great idea. I used a ruler like that when I was doing newspaper layouts. That was back in the day, after lino-type, but before computer layouts. We did wax paste up. I found it most helpful when I was wrapping text around a photo. I have a feeling that I'll be plundering through all my drafting supplies again in the near future to dig that out. I can see the value in using that tool for fussy cuts too.

I have such a problem squaring up a quilt when I use my quilting rulers, I just can't seem to get it squared up easily, takes for ever. I can see either the tape or the ruler especially the long one helping a lot in reaching that goal quickly.
