Thanks, gang for all the good ideas. I went out today and bought rubber cement and sandpaper dots. My problem is not on long cuts, but trimming down to size the 3 1/2 x 6 1/2 flying geese. I had to use the method recommended in the directions because there was not enough fabric to cut the rectangles and squares that I usually make. This method makes an oversize block that must be trimmed down. Also, they are all different. Recommended was the Fit to be Geese ruler by Open Gate, but you have to reposition the ruler to cut each of the four sides. That's what did me in--moving the ruler four times for each Geese. So now I'm trying to work with the small Flying Geese Ruler by Quilt in a Day. Also got today a mini cutting mat that I can turn easily and hopefully not lift my ruler. One of these ideas will work--I even liked the spray adhesive idea. Thanks again, everybody. Connie
