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.
I found this at the Puyallup, WA Sew Expo yesterday. Haven't used it yet but tried it there and it seems to be very helpful with the cutting rulers slipping when you cut. The inventor was demonstrating it and I like it! Here's the web address to check it out. I bought the 24" size.

I just bought some clear buttons, kitchen door cushions, put them on the 4 corners of a square ruler. It does not move, it also gives the height needed when cutting the twister blocks so it does not rock. The buttons cost $3 per package, I will use the rest of them on other rulers.

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.
