Many thanks for the refresher course; we do have a tendency to forget the basics now and then.

I've had trouble with the ruler slipping, but I've found that if I slow down as I cut, I'm less likely to get slipping. If it does slip, I haven't gone more than a fraction of an inch or so. Then I can realign it and continue with my cut.

These are such great tips. I learned a lot here too.

I just saw a tip on a youtube lesson. When you put your hand on the ruler, if it's not too wide, place your ring finger and pinky finger on the mat...NOT on the ruler! I've tried it a few times and I believe it really helps!
