Sorry to hear about your injury. I broke my shoulder and humurous bone 2 years ago & cutting fabric is still a challenge. But I did come up with a way that allows me to cut fabric - a little time consuming but it works. I place my ruler where I want to cut & hold the ruler down with some clamps to my cutting table then use my good hand to cut. In my case I injured my right arm/shoulder, which is my predominant hand, so I have to cut with my left hand. Hope this helps. Good luck.
