I bought 150 of those silicone sticky dot/rings off of Amazon for $7. Much easier than trying to make my own, and they work exactly like the higher-priced name brand ones. They're even on 3M adhesive back, just like the expensive ones!

I spray my rulers lightly with spray basting. Works very well, but immediately after spraying, rub it with a paper towel to get excess off of it. Otherwise, it sticks to the fabric, which, when cutting fabric, is not terrible.

Exactly what I was going to say! They are amazing. I have several sizes and love them all. Yesterday I picked a non-QS ruler to cut something and had to fight to keep it from slipping. It went back into the storage pile and I went back to a Quilters Select ruler.

I was thinking of changing my sandpaper dots to this,but I was going to sprinkle the glue with some very fine sand too. Glad to know my thought wasn't dumb.
