Omnigrid rulers slipping

[coffeebreak]

I just solved that problem...those little corner patches of course, don't work as they only hold the ends...not the middle and the ruler doesn't lay flat.
Get some fabric first aid tape... at the dollar store... and get the clear kind, and put that on the back of the templates. Works like a charm! Watch where you put them so you don't cover commonly used measurements, like if you use 2,1/2 alot....make sure you put the tape the length of the ruler, but right below the 2,1/2" line. That way, you not only see the measurement line, but also get a little enhancement from the tape. If you cover that 2,1/2" line...it is a bit hard to line up that line with the fabric. Or...put the tape at each end, and once in the middle. I have put this tape on all my templates and rulers and it sure works great...no more slipping.. to the point that a few times, I have grumbled...that is isn't moving and I need to move it just a little! But it is the best.

Another advantage...you can tear this tape in half lengthwise, and put it on the templates if you need a thinner area covered. Or... cut little squares out of it and put them where you want. I can't recommend this tape enough. It has not let me down once since I started using it!
