Use the sandpaper dots or make your own from sandpaper. Sure helps rulers from sliding around.

I buy Creative Grids rulers and have had no issues, they have the built in grippers and I love them.

I like the medical tape. It is cheap and it works well also you can see through it so you have no interruption in your sight.

I bought sandpaper with adhesive on the back and cut pieces to stick on all of my Rulers. Works like a charm! The plastic stuff never worked for me either. Decide where you want the sandpaper pcs and stick them on.

I have been using sandpaper dots but the ruler still slips. My teacher in a class yesterday had a gripper that she put on her ruler. IT WORKS. You are able to put a good amount of pressure evenly on the ruler and not stress your arm or wrist at the same time.

I agree with how you hold your ruler and how far you make the cut. Makes a difference.
