A great alternative that really does work well is the "Glad Press N Seal" you get where you buy your aluminum foil in the grocery store. I found it in the back of my pantry and had forgotten it was even there, had just read about the film stuff and figured I'd give it a shot and wowzers it worked!

I purchased Taylor's cutting mat but, have not used it. I will try the sandpaper dots.

Try Quilter Rule they are non slip

I have found the BEST gripper around. Use it to keep my straightedges from sliding when I am cutting glass. I have a narrow edge on each of my rulers and it is fabulous. Now have it on all my quilt rules.
Called "Wedgietape" by The Emerald Rainbow. You can Google it and it is very inexpensive, 24" to a package and it cuts to size and sticks forever!

Try using rubber cement dots on the back of your ruler. It might help.

I agree with BKrenning. Sandpaper dot work well.

If the ruler still slip with sandpaper your cutting table is the wrong height for your body.

I have some little round rubber dots on mind that is made for that.

I have sandpaper on mine and have learned to cut, but I want one of those rulers that fits against the edge of your table!
I don't know what it's called or where to get it. thanks for asking...somebodies sure to mention it...i hope :thumbup:

HI Bela Boo
I love the Alto quilt cut .

They are wonderful. Never need all the rulers with that. I have way more rullers in cost than the cost of the Alto.

If I'd had it a long time ago I'd not had all the rulers but I do use when not at home (the Rulers)

It is a great system, and Carol has a wonderful vidio to explain all the cutting on it.
