Always have it on my cutting table. In my kitchen drawer for opening jars.
I got a template from my LQS recently that had the shelf pieces on it. She was out of the template and since it is so far for me, to go she gave me hers. She uses little pieces of the shelf stuff stuck on with ordinary double-stick tape She put the pieces randomly around on the template and boy it stays put when I hold it and quilt around it. So I assume it would work great for cutting fabric. Going to get some shelf stuff and try it.
