I had a bit of a problem with ruler slippage but I bought Grip Strips from Guidelines4Quilting.com. They let the ruler slip over the fabric when lining up but when you put pressure on the ruler to cut they grip the fabric and no more slippage.
Not bad for $10.00 you get 6 strips - 2 on your 12" ruler & 4 for your 24" ruler
