Not if you put the rubber dots in the 4 corners, you get no slipage, just a tip

I have this one, ordered it from JoAnn's on-line with 50% coupon. It was shipped in a huge flat cardboard container (great for storage). Totally eliminates the "V" cut as fabric can be cut on the single off-the-bolt fold. These rulers are the ones I use the most.

Other than a sewing machine and thread, this is always what I suggest quilters buy for their first rulers.

I love mine. Don't cut strips without it. I do agree with lindasidlow about truing up the edges every so often just to make sure.

I found mine at a garage sale years ago and it was a while before I used it. I think I paid $3.00 dollars for it. One of my best buys, it's great for those strips.

After years of cut, move, cut, move...watch ruler slip-I found out about these rulers on a forum like this. I went and bought one and have never looked back! You true up one side and take off from there. I can cut strips like mad and in no time have all I need. I'm going to take my scrap stash and iron all of them flat, stack them and go to work with this ruler. What a fabulous tool this is. Have them all sizes but small.

I got mine after the last post about these I think last month. Went to walmarts and yep they had one left on the clearance rack and I snaged it up $11 went home and tried it out and man what a gem I cut for a square that I am having problems with and sewed it up and it was right on, I have been having problems cutting stright No more with this gem I love it................. So glad it came up as a topic I was getting ready to throw in the towel. Just goes to show you what a great site this is.....................
