Looks interesting. I had the handle but it didn't work well for me . This looks like it may work better. As I get older it seems I need more help to hang on to things.

Do let us know what you think of this. I have handles that suction cup to my rulers...in a drawer somewhere....they made my wrist tire to easily.

CAn you post a picture of this invention? I can't picture it, but it sounds interesting.

Thanks for sharing the slide lock it certainly looks like it might help those of us with arthritis as long as it's not too heavy with that wooden handle. Please keep posted on how it works for you and if it's too heavy cutting a whole quilt top.
