Just discovered a cardboard trick for neat signatures

I was binding a journal and had trouble with signature alignment. A cardboard guide fixed it quickly. What do you use for keeping things straight?

Can you describe how you position the cardboard guide to align the signatures (like, do you clamp it down or something)? I've had trouble with pages moving around when I try to bind them. A steady guide like that could really save time.

Have you tried just pressing it down by hand as you go? I actually find it's easier to eyeball each signature against the last one instead of using a fixed guide.
