Quilt in a Day Flying Geese rulers ?
 

My rulers are slipping when I cut out my geese. For those who use these rulers what do you do? EB has one use Invisigrip. Is that a good thing, or do you have other suggestions?
Thanks

You can buy stick-on dots at places like JoAnn's, that may help.
Another thing that sometimes helps me when a ruler wants to slip is pressing down on it with my whole hand, not just fingertips.

I was having trouble with slipping templates at a retreat and my table mate told me I was pressing too hard. Sounds strange to say press lightly but it worked. When I cut down more than against, problem solved.

I use Nexcare tape on all my rulers. They have more grip than Invisigrip and cheaper.

I found out later that ordinary vinyl that is sold by the length on long rolls at Walmart and JAF work just as well as Invisigrip. Just a lot cheaper. I cut mine just an 1/8" smaller than the ruler size.

Maniac Quilter2 how do you get the vinyl to stick?

Easypeezy Is there a particular type of Nexcare you use and how/where do you apply it?

That is what I use too. But to be honest the best non slip is the Rule Steady(or the SlideLock version).

i found that martelli rulers and templates are the best for non-slip. they take a bit more time to get on the fabric correctly but then they stick 'like glue' and the fabric is in place. they're expensive but they work well and now there's a 50% off sale through Sunday.

Mine says "Plastic" and it's the clear one. You'll see that it has like a fine grid on it. It's not smooth
like Scotch tape. Maybe not it's called Flexible Clear. I just put one long strip along the edge
(doesn't have to be too close to the edge) and one in the middle or one on each side...just
where I feel it needs it...on the wrong side of the ruler of course. It's easy to apply...just like
regular tape.

Thanks I will give it a try.

I take a small piece ( 1") of that rubbery shelf liner and put it under my ruler.Works for larger rulers too,no need to glue.Removable and just move around.

This is what I put on the whole back of all of my rulers that are not non-stick to keep them from slipping. I didn't have much luck with the dots and the Invisigrip was too expensive. There are several thicknesses of vinyl -- I buy the cheapest.

I use the Invisigrip. I buy it when it is on sale or when I have a store coupon.

I tried the Nexcare tape after someone mentioned it here on the QB once before, and it works better than anything I've tried yet. And I already had it in my medicine cabinet so it didn't cost me anything!

I have the Quilt in a Day Flying geese ruler and it is very slick. I use old fashion Rubber cement on it. Flip it over - back side up and put a light coat on it - let it dry. It will be clear, flat, nonslip and easily removed if it gets too icky with threads. Learned this trick from a longarm class instructor.

I purchased the Invisigrip for some of my rulers but to be honest, I like the little sandpaper dots better. Another tip would be to have your hand half on the ruler and half on the cutting board while cutting, try it.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Yep sandpaper dots is what I use also.
