Note: The hooks on the ends of the Fabric Guides will be sliding over the markings on the ends of your ruler, so you may want to put strips of tape right along both edges underneath your rulers to protect the markings there as well.
Also some quilt rulers such as Fiskars' are slightly thinner than standard rulers that are ⅛" thick, so the Fabric Guides may stay put better if you put tape on both short ends.
