    Rhonda, Your package just came in the mail (Sat. afternoon). Thank you very much! And I can really use that smaller ruler! I have not seen one that size. Wish I had it years ago when I started. I have been using my 6"x24" for everything. I may not have even had the 6x24 at the time. I might have been hand cutting them. I really can't remember anymore! I just know they looked too crooked and I UFO'd them. LOL I will be working on them this weekend. Hope to get some pics up when I have something accomplished. The 1 3/4 is the perfect size! This pic is of my smallest HST and it makes it on all edges to straighten. Sandpaper strip holds it very secure! Thanks again!

    You're welcome!! It does make a diferance when you have the right tools to do the job. The ruler is the size I prefer. I buy the Draft n' Cut rulers and cut them in half. But this results in one half being numbers 9 to 18. I don't send them out because that bothers some people. Also when I cut them with a saw it melts the edge where I cut and it is a bit strange. I do sand it own but it isn't the greatest.

    so to send out I had my friend Bob cut some 2" by 9". It works the same as the Draft n' Cut ruler but there aren't any numbers. Which for me is just fine. Sometimes the numbers get in the way.

    I did notice one corner of the grid might be alittle loose. We use glue sticks to put them on. So you might want to glue that corner back down more securely.

    Will be watching for pictures!!
