Frustrated with fabric movement when cutting strips and pieces?
#24
The longer one was the only one that you could get with the lighted edge when I ordered mine. I have both sizes and really don't think the lighted edge is worth the extra money. Of course it's not actually lighted - just the way the edge is cut.

Someone in our guild recently introduced us to using the shelf liner under the ruler and I LOVE it! I have found that the cheaper liner is best because it is thinner and doesn't produce "bulk" under the ruler, which will make it rock slightly. The one I like is white and it really does look cheap, but works the best. It really has made a difference in my cutting.

I have tried EVERY tip to avoid the slip and slide when cutting: sandpaper dots, silicon dots, see thru backing on the ruler, temporary spray glue, etc. The Slidelock is a miracle. I shelled out for both sizes and have never cut fabric so easily and accurately!! Love them. I got the yellow rather than clear and am VERY happy with both.

I have both sizes and it's just okay imo. I should have bought just one to try it first because to me, it's not really worth the $$. But I bought them so I use them. They're no worse than my regular rulers and only a little bit better.
