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 -- -- Kellie still waiting for her good thread to show up in the mail kjbeanne at yahoo dot com www.kjbeanne.com/kellie.htm |

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. Sherry Starr "Kellie J.

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. Julia in MN -- This message has been scanned for viruses by Norton Anti-Virus http://webpages.charter.net/jaccola/ |

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. -- Charlotte http://community.webshots.com/user/charh108 |

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.

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

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.
