I really wish they would make this in a firm and thick plastic like other Omnigrid or Olfa type rulers. That would be something to really get excited about.
I agree with your concern and have a solution. After I align the June Taylor ruler, I place my 6x12 ruler on top of the June Taylor ruler on the plastic strip where I will cut. I don't try to put it on the cutting slot, but near it to hold it steady. I then cut in the cutting slot. Also, I use my 6x12 ruler upside down so it will slide from one cut to the next.

I hope that makes sense. It really helps get a straight cut.


Oh, I see JudyTheSewer already posted this idea. I think she explained it better.
