If you want to make pretty jar grippers, buy a fabric panel with small motifs (like, 4"x4" squares). Then cut out each panel, sandwich with the non-slip stuff, sew around the edges, and turn right side out. Voila! Pretty non-slip jar openers that make wonderful gifts or bazaar crafts.

My guild zig zags a charm square on top of a non slip square, tosses it in a box and sells them for 2 for a $1 on our sale table at local events. We sell enough of these to pay our booth fees. A larger size sells for $1. We have many return customers looking to buy more for family members.

You can also use the rubberized shelf liner to put between your ruler and fabric! I can now draw diagonal lines without it slipping at the end and cutting is much more accurate because my ruler doesn't move!

I also use a small strip by the right front side of my machine to put screw driver, stiletto and most important, seam ripper which is very naughty and always tries to roll away and hide under the machine or extension table.

These are great suggestions!
I use rug mats under my foot pedals, too. Gave some of the leftovers to a sewing friend for her foot pedals.
I have also cut open to use flat, torn rubber gloves, the dishwashing type, for non slip purposes. I had a corningware casserole lid that I couldn't put on the dish, because other casseroles were nested in the big one, and a lid to one of those was on the stack, so I put the large lid on its edge at the back of the shelf, standing it on a rubber glove bit, so it wouldnt slide and break if I moved the whole stack.
