Thanks to all of you! Looks like I may just refuse to receive the package and stick with my Shape Cutter, too!! A good way I've found to prevent slippage on other rulers is a dab of hot glue. Guess I could put some down the middle columns of the ruler, too! Mine ruler is cracked in the bottom of the 1" slot, but with a Fab Dep coupon ...? Or just add more tape!
Teresa, I live 14 miles north of Vancouver so make trips to Fabric Depot a couple of times a year!
