If you can't afford the Slidelocks, the best ruler grips I tried (and I tried about half a dozen different types) are the grip strips: https://www.amazon.com/Guidelines4qu...dp/B009DF9DLA/
I have even used them under one of my June Tailor Shape Cut mats.

You do not need grip strips if you get Slidelocks.
I use shelf lining rubber matting cut slightly smaller that the ruler I am using and it holds nicely to the fabric.
