Looking for grip tape for rulers
Last year at a quilt show I purchased a roll of grip tape to apply to my quilt rulers to make them nonslip. I love the results! Unfortunately, I did not save the wrapper🙄 and I don’t remember the vendor I purchased it from! I have searched online but I haven’t found it. It is a thick tape, about 1/16” thick, seems like a clear rubber product, 1” wide and comes on a roll of maybe a yard or so. Does anyone know the name of it, or where I can purchase more?

JoAnn's sell this tape. Not sure if it's what you used & I've never tried it but the reviews are good except for one.

LOL I just ordered some this morning along with the Daily Deal. (which is a great deal today) I wanted to try the Gripper spray so waited until the deal was something I wanted and today was the day. I have several square rulers over the size of 14" and they do not have enough traction on the back. I didn't want to use tape on these large sizes.

I use either the NexCare clear plastic medical tape (available at big box stores and pharmacies and is cheap). I am very happy with the results. If I need a super grip, I use small pieces of sticky back sandpaper (hardware stores) in a fairly aggressive grit (60 or 80 grit). I am not one for specialized quilt gizmos and gadgets as I am on a fairly limited budget.

I like the NexCare tape for rulers too. I have used rulers with the Grippy spray on the back and it does work great. I also ordered the daily deal today at MSQC along with the other items in my cart just waiting for the right deal to pay one shipping cost. LOL
