I do it the same way, but for my signature guide I found a ruler that has a
cork backing so I can line it up with the left and right edges of the
paper and it won't slip. Anything you can find with a backing that won't slip
and that's around 9 inches long will work.

Laurel,
I've had to sign all sorts of things without sighted help; there are lots
of
ways people have discovered for signing things. My method works something
like this: you've probably noticed that on the left and right sides of the
regular lens are two lines that are molded into the optacon lens. They're
not on the top or bottom; they're on the actual left and right sides of the
lens. There's one on each side. They line up with the print the optacon
camera is currently looking at. You can look at the position of one or both
of these lines, making sure the focus is on the place where you need to
sign. Then, put your finger beside the left side of the lens, beside the
line. Place a signature guide or some other item to the right of your
finger; the trick here is to get it straight across the page. I can't
always
get my signature precisely on the pre-printed line, but it's close.
Nobody's
ever rejected something I've signed which is a surprise because I know from
looking at some things that it's definitely not perfect, but it's in the
right ball park.
I guess an easier way would be to use something magnetic like a magnetic
board with strips on top of it that you could place in the right location;
they would remain in the right location and you'd be able to sign much more
accurately.
