My ruler slides around :(

[JudyWoo]

How can I keep my 6" x 6" ruler from moving ever-so-slightly when I'm trimming a block to the right size? It's one I bought at JoAnn's years ago and it tends to scoot a little. Is there a trick you gals use, like putting something on the under-side to make it not so slippery?

I've ordered a new one from QIAD and I'm hoping when it arrives that it's non-slip.

My mom puts clear vinyl on the back of her rulers. She says it helps, but I've never tried it so I can't give you any first hand advice. She also suggests using one of those little suction cup handles you can get at Joanns.

[JudyWoo]

How does she use the suction cup handle? Does she put it on the top of the ruler and just press down on it or does it go underneath?

JudyWoo I bumped a topic up on what others use for their rulers I use the invisagrip (sp) You can buy it here at QIAD or they do carry it at Joanns

[JudyWoo]

Thank you sooooo much! I'm ordering a role of it right now.

I ordered a product from QIAD called Lickety Split. It is for fingers but I put a little on my rulers too.

sand paper dots or the little glue dots that look like snot work too.

[jameswife2003]

It goes on the top, just press down so the sucction cup holds on to the ruler. I'm going to be getting one for a couple of my small rulers.

RLOL! I'm so glad I ordered the Invisigrip cuz' I wouldn't want to contact customer service and inquire about the stuff that makes "little glue dots that look like snot". hehehe

I know what you mean though ... it's the stuff used to attach little sample-packs in Avon booklets, etc.
