I also use non-skid shelving. I use a 1-1/2"x6" piece. Slip between the fabric and the ruler. You don't have to put the whole thing under. About 1/2 & 1/2 that way you can let your non cutting hand rest on the ruler and it won't slip.

Curad Tape? Is it rough on the outside? I will look this weekend at Walmart.

Isn't that the truth, QuiltE?! I LOVE the Olfa rulers I bought a couple years ago. Then again, I love the Olfa rotary AND mats too.

ditto ... I SO wish I could trade in all my other rulers and just have Olfa.
The yellow ones just don't get used as often ... and for sure, I don't buy any others, now that I have discovered them.

Yes, it is textured on one side. Since you'll be at Walmart, they may even have their own brand of tape which will save a few more pennies. It's great stuff!

A guild member was complaining about her new frosted ruler. She couldn't see through it, it was slipping, it was the worse ruler she had ever used and so forth. She didn't peel the backing off the ruler. Once that was removed she loved it. LOL. I use the Curad transparent tape on all my rulers. I makes a big difference and doesn't bind up on the fabric like the sandpaper dots.

Onebyone....lol...that's something I would do!

I am slowly replacing all of my rulers with the Olfa Frosted Advantage. I love them.

Interesting stuff. I have these little emory type tabs that stick to the back of my rulers. They have helped tremendously. Only problem, don't put them where you might be measuring. Sometimes they can block your view.

click on your link.....just takes you to walmart site....what is the product you are referring to?

I also learned .o "spider" my hand on the ruler, with my pinkie off the ruler to stabilize it. Works for me,
