Oh that's weird. I thought I linked directly to the product, but it doesn't, and there doesn't seem to be a way to do it. Let me see if I can find it somewhere else.

The product is "Invisigrip." I'll look for a link on a different page.

And . . . I changed the link above too.

Hi Catrancher!
I use it on every ruler I own and wouldn't be without it. If you decide to try it, hope you're as satisfied as I am.

Navy Wife 08-20-2010 07:20 AM

It works OK. I've had this on some of my rulers for quite a while. If you can't afford to buy new Creative Grid rulers, which I love, the is a pretty good substitute. Sandpaper dots work well also.

Thanks. That helps. I was cutting half the day yesterday, and I put so much pressure on my ruler that my hand is killing me now!

icon17 08-20-2010 07:27 AM

YES its the BEST :thumbup: :thumbup:

Justok 08-20-2010 07:33 AM

I use it on all my rulers and I love it, worth the time and money.

nativetexan 08-20-2010 07:39 AM

it comes on a roll and can be cut to fit your ruler. it works well enough. i later just updated my rulers bit by bit to Omnigrip ones which i love.

nursie76 08-20-2010 07:44 AM

I had something similar on my rulers, don't know if it is the exact same thing. I didn't find it a big help and switched to sandpaper dots. Wish I could afford to buy all the Omnigrip ones.

Aunt Doggie 08-20-2010 07:44 AM

Bought couple of years ago at JoAnn's when it was 50% off notions, and still haven't used it!! :oops:

amma 08-20-2010 07:55 AM

I have it on all of my rulers :D:D:D

quilter on the eastern edge 08-20-2010 07:56 AM

I have it on my longer rulers - they don't slip out of position when I'm making the long cuts. I think it's a useful product. :thumbup:

charmpacksplus 08-20-2010 08:00 AM

I love it! I use it mostly on my long rulers when cutting strips and it doesn't stick as bad as sandpaper dots so you can still slide the ruler over for the next cut.

scrappycats 08-20-2010 08:06 AM

I love it. But, I did not coat the entire ruler with it but just used strips as you do need to be able to slide the ruler a little.

MegsAnn 08-20-2010 08:11 AM

I have it on one of my rulers. Didn't notice a difference, so I didn't bother putting it on the rest.

Quilting Di 08-20-2010 08:15 AM

I love it an have replaced all the little clear dots with it. Bought it when Hancock's had notions 1/2 off.

sewgray 08-20-2010 08:20 AM

I have it and didn't think it worked well. I prefer the sandpaper dots.

I suspected that about the sandpaper dots. It sounds like this allows you to slide the ruler to make fine adjustments. Is that right?

misseva 08-20-2010 08:39 AM

no, but i've used the sandpaper dots. seems i vaguely remember someone using the self adhering plastic wrap for this - anyone remember???

mimiknoxtaylor 08-20-2010 01:04 PM

Got this at Joann's with a coupon. I didn't cover the whole ruler, just cut sections & put it on, especially the edges, etc.
So far I've been pleased with it. Found another couple of rulers that I don't use much & missed those so I'll have to compare.

Yes, you can slide the ruler to make fine adjustments. And I'm more of a slider than a picker-upper LOL. I tried sandpaper quite awhile ago. It's just not for me........ Good luck!

sueisallaboutquilts 08-20-2010 04:23 PM

Thanks, Catrancher!! :D

mamaw 08-20-2010 05:13 PM

I love it and it is on the back of all my Omnigrid rulers.

I use the sandpaper dots there down about halfway on the page.
And . . . I changed the link above too.

gollytwo 08-20-2010 06:56 PM

Yes, I've used it
No, I don't like it

I get a better grip with sandpaper dots.

cherryberry 08-20-2010 07:00 PM

I like the sandpaper dots better.

catrancher 08-20-2010 07:27 PM

Thanks for telling me!

Laura3 08-21-2010 04:35 AM

Where do you get the sandpaper dots?

grannypat7925 08-21-2010 05:57 AM

I have used the little dots and they have worked very well. Don't know if it was that brand.

quiltmom04 08-21-2010 06:32 AM

Yes, I have used it and I like it. I HATE those little sandpaper dots becasue I find it hard to "scootch" the fabric a tiny bit when you need to, but with this product, it holds the fabric when you cut, but you can move the fabric a bit if you need to.

catlover 08-21-2010 08:43 AM

I have used this product on my rulers. Works great. Another product that works well on rulers and has MANY other uses is Hugo's Amazing Tape. I think Soft Expressions carries that too. I use this tape to keep my embroidery spools from unwinding when not in use. It's amazing.

I've seen them at JoAnn, but you can probably find them online by doing a search for sandpaper dots.

ColleenDee 08-21-2010 09:12 AM

I too have it on all of my rulers and really like it! I am sure you wouldn't be disappointed if you buy it! It really helps me to keep my ruler straight when I am cutting!

Retired Quilter 08-21-2010 09:39 AM

I have it on all of my rulers. It works for me.

JudeWill 08-21-2010 10:04 AM

I put it on almost all my rulers and am very happy with it.

Drew 08-21-2010 10:15 AM

My LQS and Quilt Club both have demonstrated it and I now have it on all my rulers. I still catch myself using my "pinkie" to help hold it straight.

AliKat 08-21-2010 10:28 AM

Yep, I have used Invisigrip on most of my rulers and it helped.

Now The Grace Company has come out with a much better product ... look at their website. It is with their new rotary cutting system items.

Would love the new rotary cutter and ruler but not just yet. The little 'grippers' are affordable though. A quilting friend who also has arthritis loves these as they keep her more pain free when cutting.

I use it on my long rulers. I haven't tried it on the smaller ones, but I have enough left to try it on them. I like it.
