Easy fix for sliding templates
 

I read here somewhere, can't remember which section now...about putting tape on a template to make it less likely to slip when you are cutting around it.
I stopped on the way home and bought a box of tape for less than $2.00 and it works Great!! :thumbup:
This is what i bought and now it's much easier to cut out the blocks without having to deal with all the slipping!

Awesome...I'll have to try this on some of mine...:thumbup:

I also read this tip. Great to see that it works. I have to go to the drug store today, so I will add this to my shopping list.

Thanks for letting us know! Just this week, I was tempted to buy some sticker thingys that cost $7, but decided to wait.

perforated too. looks like that would help too. Interesting. I wrote this down, now to remember where I put it when shopping!

I just used the lightweight vinyl protection that is sold by the yard at Walmart. Worked great on the back of my Omnigrid rulers.

Gasp....what an great idea!!

Put a dot of clear finger nail polish and then sprinkle salt on it, let dry, shake off the loose salt and no more slippery rulers!!! I've used this for a couple years now, got it here on the QB!!

The transparent medical tape is the best product I've used to keep rulers from slipping. I also use the SlideLock. My ruler isn't moving a smidgen.

Looks like some first-aid tape I have in my medicine cabinet! Worth a try --thanks!

This is what Bonnie Hunter recommends and it does work...

Like this idea. I use the non skid shelving cut into strips and place under the ruler/template off to the side. no slippage

Thanks for the great tip.

Bonnie Hunter suggest Nexcare tape... kind of the same thing.

I will try it. Thanks!

Thank you! I could use help with that!

I have some of this--thank you for the tip.

I am happy to help. Thanks to the person here
who suggested it to begin with.

Thank you for the tip. :)

I also use this tape on my templates and rulers.

I spray the back of rulers and templates with basting spray lightly and let it dry works great

The question I have is how long does the grip last? Also, if yo have to remove it to replace it what do you use?

I have cut a couple hundred blocks with no slip so far. It's tape, just peel off and add new pieces when needed.
