Has this ever happened to you? You’re going along, cutting all your fabric pieces & then suddenly your ruler has shifted & you realized you’ve made a crooked cut like this?
I’ve tried the sandpaper dots on the backs of rulers, but I don’t like them on “regular rulers” as I feel their opaqueness prevents me from accuracy.
I’ve tried the plastic dots, but I felt they lifted the ruler too high & sometimes the ruler would shift.
I’ve tried the plastic sheets you place to the back, but they were difficult for me to afix them (think of a bad duct tape experience….)
So when I found this technique! I couldn’t believe how wonderfully simple it was!
Take a 2″x2″ or so piece of non-adhesive plastic shelving liner:
And place it under your ruler:
I love this because:
1. Since it’s not permanent, it doesn’t interfere with any markings on the ruler
2. I can use 1 for several rulers instead of buying enough for every ruler
