Ruler Magic works quite well also.. thin layer on the back and no more slippage!

My solution is to replace rulers, little by little, with Quilters Select rulers. They DO NOT SLIP at all...........and you do not have to add things like Invisigrip to the backs.............

Again..thank you for all the suggestions. I sent an earlier thank you, but don't see it on the list. Will try again. I am fumbling a little learning to use the board.
I am thrilled with all the ideas. Thanks to all of you. MHJ |
I use that shelf liner stuff. I found a roll of it at the dollar store but Walmart and a lot of other places sell it also. Cut a strip and put it under your ruler - no need to glue it on - just move it when you move your ruler. Works like a charm. I also put a square of it under my foot pedal & I sit on a square of it as I have trouble sliding down in my chair. I've tried other things but this stuff works the best for me and you can't beat the price!!

This is what I use having been introduced to it at a quilt retreat. Works great and I even cut a small square to use with my 2 1/2 inch square ruler. Never slips.

cut some small squares or strips of the foam shelf liner--put between ruler and fabric. Works great and can be moved to allow you to see your measurement lines.

I use clear strips that are meant for the bathtub. Amazon sells them. About $14 and you will have enough for all your rulers and a friend's to boot. You can see through the strips so it doesn't interfere with measuring lines.

Rust-oleum makes a product called Leak and Seal it is a flexible rubber coating....I bought a ruler at a Oaks Quilt Show and my girlfriend and I figured there has to be something on the market to do this and we went to HD and asked around and they guided us to this and you spray it on and it is clear and the rulers don't move once you put it on the fabric. It is in a white can in the paint isle...I have been using this for a few weeks and it's great. I cut a lot of scraps I do a lot of charity quilts all scrappy....so I do a lot of cutting.

A dab of clear nail polish, then a sprinkle of table salt, let dry. I've used this for years....
