Default Has anyone used Grip Strips?

Just saw a video presenting Grip Strips rulers. They also showed just the Grip Strips that you can buy to put on your "already own" rulers. Wondered if anyone has tried either the rulers or the strips that are sold separately? They looked pretty neat but looking good and working as advertised are two different things as we all know.

Here is a link to a free short video of this product:

Yes, I bought some and use them on several rulers. They work great, better than clear dots and sandpaper dots.

Today, in the mail, I received my 4th set of Grip Strips. I am hooked on them! I have re positioned some of the Grip Strips; but I want enough strips so that when I need some, I don't have to take them off another ruler. My latest use for Grip Strips is to put them on my homemade templates. Recently, I have cut templates from an old cutting mat. When I put Grip Strips on the template, that makes it high enough that the template is perfect to use with a rotary cutter and the template does not slip. I think these templates will last as long as I am quilting. I have some very small rulers, e.g, 1"", 2 1/2", etc. Without the Grip Strips, those rulers tend to slip if I am not careful. With Grip Strips, I have never had a ruler slip. They are a bit expensive; but they are so worth the money to me.

I also use the Grip Strips. Love them! They work better than anything else I have tried. I highly recommend them!

I really like the grip strips too. Have put them on several rulers and they really help. Here is the website for them:

I think you are referring to the Guidelines4quilting rulers. A few of us bought them for doing our BOM's at our LQS. I love it for doing such things as do my friends. Since we are given the fabric we really need to cut accurately or we won't have enough for the blocks. This is just doing one block at a time, not making a large quilt.

I bought my first pain in Paducah at the show. Since then I have ordered twice more. I love them. I have them on just about every ruler I have. You won't be disappointed.
