I have a Fons and Porter Omnigrid (the 8" x 14", which is a really convenient size sometimes). I have noticed that it has much more grab than the other yellow Omnigrids I have. I wonder if Omnigrid is starting to make their rulers more grippy. I still love Omnigrids. The slip isn't a problem for me. I've bought some other specialty rulers and they aren't nearly as accurate. I always go back to Omnigrid (no affil). And yes, a Bonnie Hunter trick is to put Nextcare clear tape on the back of the rulers. I'd definitely try that before switching to rulers with markings that I don't like as much.

I rarely use any 6x24 because it's too hard to hold it steady. But I like the Jordan Fabrics You Tube tutorial (no affil) trick of putting a dumbbell on the end of the 6x24 before cutting to weigh it down. I think it's a good idea even with the rulers that have more grab.
