    I have 4 clear sticky dots on the corner of my rulers. Works great. I've also used gripper clamps holding my rulers down to the table but that can get a bit tedious but sometimes worth the effort.

    I use a Quilters Slidelock. Won't use anything else. Best tool I have found to stop ruler slippage once an for all and it's almost impossible to have a rotary accident if using one.

    I too love the Creative Grid rulers but have a few that are"specialty" rulers that are very slick. I have tried the sandpaper dots, clear round stickons and invisagrip. All work OK for me but each has it downsides as far as I am concerned. I ran across this tip at MQX by a longarmer - I now use old fashion rubber cement on the back of those slippery rulers. It is flat, see through, easily removed when icky and cheap.

    I do! Invisigrip which is clear. BUT any new rulers I buy are Creative Grids...wish they'd been around about 10 years sooner. You DO have to pay closer attention to the markings on the CG rulers, but there's that lovely transparent removable tape at Staples to use if you're making multiple cuts of the same size.

    This is so funny, I read somewhere about the Nexcare tape. Bought it and it laid around here and I couldn't remember what I bought it for. Now I've put it away and can't find it to save my soul. Ain't old age great. lol
