The older I get, the more I value ANY safety device ESPECIALLY when it relates to my quilting passion. This is a great tip. I watched the video and, to me it looks worth the money. There's always more fabric but not time to recover from cuts and missing body parts, even little ones! Thank you for taking the time to share your good fortune and this helpful information with us.

I think I might put this on my birthday or Christmas list for 2012. I also like the info about ordering it straight online for less. Thank you for this post, as well as for posting the less expensive price information.

You are really missing the boat. I got this gadget called Rule Steady for Christmas and I love it!!! I will never cut a piece of fabric without it! With just a tad of pressure on the handle, the ruler underneath cannot move at all! You can use it on any size ruler, large or small. It is from Australia, but there is a shop in Indiana that sells it. It was $89. but will save tons of fabric due to have to constantly straightening because the ruler "slipped".

Ruler holder
I use Creative Grid rulers, made here in the UK as they incorporate non slip spots on the back of the ruler but for safety I have advised my pupils to have one of these http://www.creativegrids.com/acatalog/info_1_N0442.html BUT not at that price. In our local "Home Bargain" store they sell the self same item, although they call it a Shower Grip Handle and only charge £2.99/$4.50, quite a difference
