Troubleshooting
Ruler slips while cutting
Apply adhesive non-slip rings or textured dots to the underside of the ruler to increase friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the SewEasy ruler requires no formal setup. To ensure longevity, keep the ruler stored on a flat, clean surface away from direct heat to prevent warping. Avoid using metal-edged rotary cutters directly against the ruler's edge with excessive force, as this can create small nicks in the acrylic over time. For maintenance, clean the surface periodically with a microfiber cloth and a mild acrylic cleaner or water to remove fabric lint and adhesive residue. If the ruler becomes slippery, consider applying non-slip adhesive dots to the back side to keep it securely in place during cutting.
