I have been looking at buying it for my rulers to help with repeat strip cutting. It comes with three different colors of tape in the same package for about seven bucks.
From what I hear, it can be used to mark your machine bed for straight line sewing too without being sticky when you remove it.

Here is a picture of it. https://www.amazon.com/Omnigrid-Glow.../dp/B000YZ5QYQ

I also found where dritz has what looks to be the same thing for less money.
I may be out in left field here, but i think what Watson is referring to RedGarnet, is a template ruler for machine quilting, as opposed to a cutting ruler, which you are referring to, judging by Watson reference to FMQIng being faster and you referring to Omnigrid who make quilting lets for cutting and measuring....
