Thanks!
John Flynn used to make and sell a "ruler/straight edge" called The Cutting Edge which helped solve the problem of a ruler moving against the cutting blade.
It was a full length/24" long, 6" wide straight edge - no markings.
You measure from the right, butt the "edge" up against the ruler, and cut along the non-moveable "edge".
I can't find it now on his web site but have sent an email asking if it's still available; will let this thread know if I get a response. It was a very helpful tool for my beginner classes. And it's great for older hands with less strength to hold that ruler down.
