what do you call/where do you buy

those little dots or strips that go on the bottom of your rulers so when you
are rotary cutting and you are at the end of a very long strip .... the
blasted thing doesn't slide a 1/4 inch off where you wanted it to go... and
i do mean it always slips to the skinnier side not to the fat where i can
fix it....

or should i just go get some double sided sticky tape and sand?

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrumble

The last package of the dot thingies I bought are called Fabric Grips, and
they are made by Dritz. I can't think what the others I have bought are
called. These work just fine on my rulers.

I've mentioned this here befo Try little pieces of
Nexcare Clear tape on the bottom of your rulers. It's a
clear tape made by 3M for medical/first aid purposes. You find it
near the band-aids and other first aid stuff in the store. The
non-sticky side is textured so it stops the rulers from
slipping. If you have access to a medical supply store, you
may be able to find it there under the name "Transpore". It
looks like the same tape to me.

Hi Kellie
Your local hardware store will have them in many sizes.........

I like Julia's tape idea. Along the lines of your tape and sand, you could
use sandpaper. Get some adhesive back paper or use glue to put it on. That
is what my mother uses. She just makes sure she places them on different
lines so you don't cover up one line in several spots, making it hard to
use. When they fall off, she just replaces them with another piece. Just
another idea. It works for her, but personally, I would like to see through
anything I put on my ruler. I don't currently use anything because I like
to be able to slide my ruler into place when it is off a little rather than
picking it up to readjust all the time.

Bless your pea pickin' heart! I have some of that tape and I'm getting
it on my rulers first thing in the morning. I sure learn a lot on this
newsgroup.

Because I so often buy for our whole group I use Invisigrip clear plastic
but instead of covering the whole ruler I cut it into strips. One roll goes
an awful long way!!!!

Rolls of Magic Tape (not sure if it's still avail) also work really well.

I call them sticky cork pads.
So does the guy at the office supply store.
You can get sticky cork strips too.

I buy the little felt dots from quilting from the heartland.....but I
notice she has a deal now iwht omnigrid and you can buy those templates
other places now, so I don't know if the dots are more readily available
too. They are MUCH thinner than the ordinary ones you would find around
town......

Other options I've heard are invisigrip dots, painting dots with clear
nail
polish..... and I'm sure a few more will pop up..

That's the beauty of the tape. You can see through it. It is rough
enough to grip a bit when you apply a little pressure to the ruler, but
rough enough so that it doesn't slip as easily as a plain ruler.
