    What department would these be in? Another things to hide along with the items we find in hardware that are not meant for quilters' use.

    Thanks for the tip, that is what I like about the board. Every one on the board is so smart and sharing.

    I had a bunch of the non-skid shelf liner (like they sell at the dollar store) and cut several strips about 3" x 4". It works really well, and doesn't slip. Don't like it as shelf liner because it doesn't allow things to glide. Go figure.......

    At Walmart they're with the exercise stuff in the sporting goods. I would imagine any drug store might have the exercise bands too.

    Someone on the board mentioned they used glycerin and I tried it and it's great! I'll never go back to gloves/rubber/shelf liner, etc again!! Just a drop will last a really long time!

    The rubbery "shelf paper" works too.
