I also have the Westalee rulers and put the sticky liner on the back. It works like a charm and I am amazed at how my quilting has improved plus how much faster I get the SID done now using the straight ruler. When I get ready I put on a pair of cheap garden gloves that I cut out the thumb and forefinger. that way I have the grip from the rest of the glove AND I have no problem pulling threads or cutting with scissors (without having to take the gloves off). Saw that tip on Craftsy in Christina Cameli's class. She uses the purple quilting gloves but I found that getting a 10-pack of garden gloves at Costco gives me the same results.
