Just another tip about HF products. My last shopping trip to the big city, I stopped at JoAnn's and bought the suction cup thing with two cups and a handle between to help hold down my long ruler when cutting. (I had a coupon)
Then we stopped at HF for hubby's list and while I wandered around, I noticed they had a similar thing except it was made to go on the bathtub to help older folks get out. I bought one as it was around $8. After getting them both home, I found I liked the HF one way better than the one made just for the cutting ruler. It just feels nicer gripping the center handle. Just wanted to give you a heads-up about another neat thing to look for at HF. :-)
