Me, too, Moonpi! It's the truest straight you can get AND (bonus for me) I don't have to try to get down on the floor or up again. I can't imagine that sliding your cutting mat wouldn't make the fabric shift, Pam. I get wavy centers if I don't rip them, to frequently. :wink:
I have a wood working metal square ruler I use, too! Love them tools and my husband bought it for me especially for my quilting. He got tired of having me say 'clean that thing' when I was using his. :lol:
