I place a couple small post-it notes on the ruler along the line where I need to place the fabric to make the place easier and faster to find. It saves time and saves mistakes in cutting.
I've used 2 strips of blue painters tape to mark my line. Put the tape on the under-side of the ruler and it will butt up to the fabric for a quick alignment.
