Handi Grip
I have never been able to hold my rulers straight when cutting fabric. I do have small hands. I tried The Gypsy Gripper, the large suction handle and it helped but still moved near the end of the cuts. I ordered these Handi Grip and boy do they work. All they are are strips of emery board type material with an adhesive side. You can cut to the size you want and place on rulers or templates. They are clear so even when you put them on the back of the ruler you can still see the markings. Supposedly you can remove and reuse but I haven't done that yet. All I can say is for me it works great!

Glad to hear you have found a solution for yourself. I use the clear gripper dots on the corners of my rulers and I think they work great. I've also used spring clamps from the tool section of Home Depot. It limits where I can cut on my mat (right edge only) but the ruler truly does NOT move with those.

I'm using the free, already have it at home, ruler dots that a member of this board told us about some time ago. Just dots of elmers (or any other) glue on the wrong side of the ruler. While the glue is wet sprinkle the dots with salt. Let dry overnight. It works fine for me and it's free.
