About 10 years ago I went to JoAnn's and bought their lightest weight clear plastic and cut it to fit the back of all my rulers. I have only had to replace the plastic on one ruler in that time. I also cut strips of this plastic and wrap it around my thread spools to keep things tidy.

My cutting table is at a good, comfortable height where i can get a good reach and good angle. I also cut TOWARDS me - starting at the farthest point and pulling the rotary cutter towards me instead of pushing it away from me. For me, I can control much better. I know most of you will say "It's not safe" I don't have problems w/ my ruler moving and i've never lost control of my cutter.

What a great idea! Am going to try that one. I bought two sided tape and some really course sandpaper and made my own sandpaper dots, going to get out the spray glue and experiment!

I use Quilters Slide Lock. It holds the ruler in place and I know I won't have a nasty cutting accident. I the small and large size. I won't cut without them. I have the Alto Quilt Cut and it holds the fabric but it's limiting for bigger cuts.

The invisi -grips work really well.

I use invisi-grip on all rulers, but did purchase the longer one with the edge and I love it.

Love, love, love my quilters slidelock!

I have sandpaper on mine but still have an occasional slip. I will try the rubber cement idea.
If I cut on the floor I wouldn't be able to get up.

I use a quilters slide lock I bought online. It is my favorite quilting tool. Its wonderful.

Invisi grip is fairly good but i finally started replacing my old rulers with Omni Grip ones.
