I did the same thing, Phyllis! Works like it always did. I actually have 4 of the June Taylor rulers and use them more than my Accuquilt Go by a huge margin. I nicked myself once and now use a Kevlar lined glove on my off hand. To keep the rulers from slipping, I use two of those metal 2" spring clamps that are 1" wide and have the plastic covers on the handles and the tips. Made in China, of course. I got mine at Lowes. They are a "guy" tool. I have a Martelli cutting mat that is thicker than regular mats and I let my mat's edge extend about an inch over the table (folding) that I cut on and that "lip" is where I apply the clamps including the edge of my carefully lined up JT ruler. No slipping. In my fishing shack, I have a Horne cabinet with a leaf that I cut on and the clamps there will fit over the cabinet edge. No Martelli there, sigh~
