Oh good! Thanks for all the reviews. I thought they looked great but one never knows. I so often have slippage problems with cutting fabrics. I will have to check locally first to see if any of the shops sell them. Thanks to all who posted!

I have not used them, but what I like is a new product by Rust-Oleum that can be purchased at Home Depot. It is a can of Anti-slip coating and comes in a 12 oz can. I paid $6.79 for the can. Spray it on your rulers and it works like a charm. Here is the link to it

It dries in 30 minutes. I love it...

I even put some on the bottom of my foot petal so it would stop walking away. They worked ok, but they work perfect on rulers and templates.

I just ordered me a set of them. Will see how they work. I, too, have problems with a long ruler slipping when I'm getting close to the top. Thanks for all the good reviews!!!

I love, love, love grip strips. Needless to say, they are great on quilting cotton, but I make a lot of scarves and accessories with silky, slippery fabrics and they are a must have. I don't know about the rulers themselves, but the strips for your own rulers are wonderful.

Looked at my guideline rulers & yes they all have the grip strips on them. So just now order two sets to attached them to my S, H, Q ruler additions & to my other rulers I use a lot. Thanks all for the many wonderful compliments for the use of these strips, you encouraged me to get them. Your all great sales people.

I have some of the strips and have only put them on my 4x36 O`lipfa
ruler.

Some day I will get them added to my 5x24, and 3x18 O`lipfa rulers.
