[quote=Barb M]I thought oh no, your quilt is dented????? lol lol Anyways, i have so much trouble figuring out why people always talk about their rulers slipping? I'm not being dumb, i just dont get it, and not being sarcastic at all, i really am asking? The reason i don't get it, is because i have never used a heavy plexiglass quilting ruler. Is it the size and weight of the ruler that makes it slip so much??? quote]
The plexi sometimes likes to slip a little and as quilters we know even the littlest bit can be a lot. I put small piecies of sandpaper on the back of my rulers (The fine sandpaper with the sticky back). My rulers never slip and I have read that you should mark your rulers and use the same side when cutting because there can be a difference, so the sandpaper does that job too, I always cut with the same side. Some rulers you can tell the difference, but there are some you can't and are even double sided. But the sandpaper is great and I just put a little bit at each end and in the middle. :D And I have one of those sucktion things to hold the ruler, but it is in the package, I have never used it and was going to sell it, just keep forgetting. I have never cut my fingers so I figure why have to get use to something else. I don't know where or why I have it. :roll:
