I usually cut 6 or 8 layers at a time; and I use a 60mm blade. I will often make the first cut and then carefully pull that cut-off fabric from underneath the ruler. That lets that slat of the ruler flex downward and becomes a ledge I can bump the rest of the fabric stack up against and that sort of "locks" the ruler in place a little bit; helps prevent slipping.
Mine has become worn at the spots where you insert the blade - a fresh blade will dig into the ruler a bit if you're not careful and between me and my newbies it's getting a little tattered. At some point I'll pick a new one up to replace it.
