I use the lines on my cutting board for the ruler and put the slidelock directly on the fabric. It makes cutting so much better for me. My cutting mat is accurate, so this works very well for me. I would not give it up.

While I don't know about this product at all, I can tell you that I bought a small Creative Grid ruler to see how they worked. Since then, I've ditched my other rulers and bought the sizes I use most in the Creative Grid. I'm up to five rulers now and love them. They grip very well. I do check the numbers twice before cutting, though.

I've had one ever since I cut my finger with a rotary cutter. I bought it for safety back when it was only available from an Australian website. Much cheaper then the ER bill and follow up even after insurance. I have both sizes and will not cut with a cutter without it. I put it on top of my ruler, I don't use it as ruler. I don't know why anyone would cut with a rotary cutter and not use a safety device of some kind. My guild has a rule that anyone cutting has to use a cut resistant glove, a ruler grip, or the Slidelock. The guild has all three available to use when cutting . Having to call an ambulance twice because of bad cuts (one member almost sued the guild for no safety device offered, yes it can happen) the guild makes no exceptions about having to use a safety device when cutting in their meetings.
Here is a video demonstrating the Slidelock: http://quiltersslidelock.com/
