It works fine, and I get straight cutting w/o the ruler moving on me, but I think I would prefer to cut on my table, however, every time I do cut on the table I have problems with my ruler moving on me.
I would love help with figuring out how to fix this issue!
It is not a stupid question, as there is no such thing, only a stupid person who doesn't ask! It is also a query with all quilters as you will see from all the replies.
I am lucky 'cos here in the UK the original non slip rulers were invented:
