It works for me.
Yes, only cut to the edge of your fingers, then walk your fingers down the rest of the ruler..also just use your fingertips, by bending your fingers, sort of like a spider. Then take the little finger of that hand and put it against the edge of the ruler as you cut....sort of keeps it from scootching. But, you must put enough pressure on that ruler to keep it in place too. Take your time!!
