The O'Lipfa 5" X 24" ruler stays on top of my cutting surface. All other rulers are put away but this one is my go-to ruler. I love the 5" wide ruler since it's so convenirnt to cut 5" square from leftover scraps and the 24' length easily cuts the double layer of 45" wide fabric in one swipe. I broke a piece off my first O'Lipfa, glued it back and since then, I almost wore the numbers off of it so I bought a new one to replace it.
