Default spray glue

I just spray the back lightly with spray adhesive and it lasts for months. You can always remove it with rubbing alcohol. I also do this with templates it works great

this is what I use under my sewing machine foot so it doesn't slide so much. I see that at Etsy someone has made a large flip-flop to use-cute idea

I was going to a quilting sew day today. Put ALL my stuff in the van. Slammed the van door and promptly caught my 24x6 inch ruler in the track. Broke off 4" of it. I was sick. Looks like I'll be looking out for a 50% coupon. LOL
Also, About a year ago I put INVSI-Grip on all my rulers and they still slide all over the place. I'm gonna try the hot glue gun thing. Thanks.

My ruler is a Quilters Rule it has a textured back and seems to work well also I find if I place my little finger just off the edge of the ruler it seems to steady it better. I think all of us get in too big of a hurry when we are cutting our fabric maybe we should all slow down and enjoy the whole project more.

I bought these non-slip ruler grips and use them on all my rulers.
They are inexpensive and probably available at your LQS.

I love my creative grids rulers. They have circle "grippers" on them and work great!

I raided my husband's woodworking shop and found fine sandpaper with one peel-n-stick side. I cut tiny squares and stuck them to the back of my rulers and they work great! More money saved for fabric!
