I recently got a martelli.and it makes a diffrence for me. I am disabled with m.s , in a wheelchair and only have use of my left side. I also use a quilt cut but 1 and it helps. I also weigh down the ruler with an old iron (they're heavier) with the cord cut off.

I wind up holding the ruler down with my whole arm to keep it from wobbling around - which i know is not the smartest or most efficient. I saw a ruler here the other day which i can't remember the name of but it had a wodden handle on the ruler. That looked like it might help me hold the ruler straight!
