Kitsie, trust me I do crazy odd stuff like this to, all the time. And for Grannie, girl I feel you, it's amazing where you can find things. I swear there are little gremlins running throughout my house at times because like you I find stuff in the oddest places and I think to myself, did I really do that? I must have because there it isl

Sounds like a lesson that I would learn - lol. OBTW - putting old fashion "Rubber Cement" , the kind that kids use in school projects (folks outside the US can not find this so I am told), works fantastically as well. Just let it dru for about 30 minutes. Oh did I mention that it too needs to go on the bottom?? :D Since there is no heat involved, it can not damage the ruler and can also be pealed off easily when it gets yucky.

Definitely sounds familiar!

I did the glue on the bottom and love it now I am not sliding when I cut. Love it. Just finished putting all of my fabric on comic boards and it looks so good and I can see everything I have at a glace.(no more sorting through piles) I saw the hint to Pinterest and I have never been so organized. Love it, love it, love it!!!!! I never thought I would go through 125 boards but I did. Have a great day everyone.

Another quick "gripper" solution is to use clear nail polish sprinkled with salt (on the bottom of the ruler). I usually let it set overnight but found it works great!

It wasn't the pregnancy part that fried my brain but rather the raising of 3 boys and 1 girl. Then you kick in the menopause fog and it is a disaster in the making. Amusing sometimes but mostly just irritating. Ann in TN
