These are harder to find, and I don't remember where I got mine, but if you can find them I think you'll love them too.
Andrea, the ones I tried were about 1/8" thick and raised the ruler off the fabric. I didn't like that. Are yours the same?
I got a set of the clear dots at JoAnn's, it works ok for my large rotary cutter but my smaller one has a hard time b/c the blade almost too small for the thickness of the ruler and dots.
