One of the biggest problems and fears of any builder scribing panel lines is having the scriber slip. It makes more work and can destroy the piece you are working on. My solution is using thick, plastic label tape as a guide. I remove a section of backing to expose the adhesive, ensuring the tape won’t move while I work. (Don’t remove all of the backing; the adhesive is very strong.) I reuse a single piece of tape for several panels! A little wax will remove any sticky residue left by the tape.
