Just yesterday I received the monthly newsletter form Jinny Beyer, she discover & passed on to us that she now uses the "Needle Grip'It's" (that you use on your finger tips for pulling needles when quilting), She places those on the back of her templates & rulers to keep them from moving. I have some of those so next time I'm going to try it.

These things are awesome! I tried everything else, and nothing worked except these. LOVE them.

The the best thing I have found lately are Steady Betty strips. They came as multiple strips in a small pkg. in the notions and are cut in small pieces and placed on the back of the ruler. They really hold the ruler to the fabric.

I tried everything and finally bout the Sidecutter. It is awsome!

The clear plastic dots stopped that for me. You have to put enough of them on there... about every 6" should have a dot. I also only put pressure from the cutter in the area where my hand is. I stop and move my hand before going up farther, and the ruler doesn't move.

I use this tip from Quiltville about using bandage tape to stop slippage. It works wonderfully!

I don't recall where I heard this suggestion, but I tried it and it works. Purchase a cheap bottle of clear fingernail polish. Paint a strip on the back of the ruler and then sprinkle on table salt. Do one area at a time. I did this about two months ago and the salt is still in place and still working. Cheap and effective.

I found one of those suction handles for the shower at the thrift store and It works good for me on my 6 x 24 inch ruler. I did not know if it would work but was only $2 so it was worth a try.

I went out to cheap sales and purchased at very low cost scale weights not complete sets the heaviest the best after a wrist operation. I put the weights down the side of the ruler which did help as well as auctions from car departments are stronger than others and also heavy.

I like Quilter's slidelock. The Quiltcut is nice if you have a permanent place for it. I have an executive desktop for a cutting table, and the table is used for other things. I set up for macro photography, cut my own mats for pictures, do papercrafting, etc, and the Quiltcut is heavy. You can't just take it off the table and lean it against a wall. I'd have the same problem with an Accuquilt. I have a Sizzix Big Shot and it doesn't get much use as I don't have room to leave it out.
