Abstract: A non-slip sewing ruler comprising an elongate guide member including a pair of apertures disposed therein. Releasably attached to the top surface of the guide member is a handle member having a pair of pin members extending therefrom. Each of the pin members defines a pin point which is received into a respective one of the apertures when the handle member is attached to the guide member. The handle member is selectively movable between a first position wherein the pin points reside within the apertures, and a second position wherein the pin points protrude from the bottom surface of the guide member.

The pin weights comprise a body, attachment means formed upon the body for attaching the body to the mat, and registration means formed upon the body to facilitate stacking of a plurality of such pin weights. The storage means comprises a plurality of posts, each post being of a different diameter to facilitate stacking of a plurality of pin weights having different sized central openings formed therethrough. Each pin weight preferably comprises a generally circular body, having a generally circular central opening formed therethrough and a plurality of pins extending downwardly therefrom. The caddy also has a holder for receiving and conveniently storing a cutter.
