Wow what great ideas. I have used the circles but would like to try some of your ideas and see what will work best for me.
Thank you

Re: Interesting way to stop rulers from slipping
To keep my rulers from slipping I use small circles of
sand paper. Works great, just place them around the
back side of your ruler, they are sticky on the back.

Originally posted by stitchwishes View PostHaven't tried those.

Re: Interesting way to stop rulers from slipping
I use Nexcare tape on mine. I used to use those clear stick-on dots, but the tape is cheaper and works better.

Re: Interesting way to stop rulers from slipping
I put Ruler Magic on mine. It was spendy, but worth it. Goes a loooong way as you don't use much. I have it on the rulers for fmq and it helped a lot!!

I ended up buying a roll of Invisigrip, love it, doesn't obscure any ruler markings. It only clings, no adhesive, I've peeled it off to wash it and a ruler and it just sticks back on.
The 505 is sure clever!

Interesting way to stop rulers from slipping
I was looking at some beautiful quilting and one person commented that she sprays 505 on her rulers to prevent slipping. This is an idea I hadn't heard of before and seems like a great alternative to those sandpaper dots. She also posted that she uses GooGone or WD40 to wipe it off when she's done.
I don't have a problem with my rulers slipping but I know some of y'all do. Anyone try this method before?Tags: None
