    Hmm, that bracket looks interesting....there must be a less expensive bracket...how about a double curtain rod? That would be ok as rulers aren't that heavy...think?

    I think it looks fun but I have always been told to store my rulers and mats flat? If that's not the case then I would consider making one for my new sewing room...

    I don't know that rulers being stored flat is a particular necessity...look at all the ruler stands out there! As to mats, yes that is certainly the preferred method. That said, I have mine on edge but having the somewhat sandwiched between a piece of furniture and some containers. Keeps them from wobbling too much and I don't seem to have an issue with warping. I have my main mat on my cutting table all the time but I have other, less frequently used mats, that I store for long periods on end. Even my large, main mat will go on end in the same spot when I am sandwiching quilts and no issues.

    I like this. It could work for Acuquilt dies too.

    On Lowes site a double satin nickel bracket it less the $3. My double drape brackets were about $45.

    Oh, you can tell it's been awhile since I did any rod pricing/ buying!
