"I bought your quilt guide set from the new quilt shop here in Lewistown, MT and I've never been happier with a tool! I'm getting on in years (74) and my sight isn't what it was but the guides made cutting my last quilt blocks so much easier!!! Wish I'd had them a lot sooner in my sewing life. Thank you for the best quilting tool I've ever owned!"

"Love your guides you can put on rulers. Most of my rulers had them on them and I don't have to worry about the rulers moving on the fabric."

Grip Strips and Fabric Guides are the same thickness.
- Grip Strips keep your ruler level on the cutting surface while a Fabric Guide is attached underneath your ruler.
- Grip Strips slip-proof your rulers because all the pressure gets concentrated on narrow strips. You can slide your ruler easily over fabric, but applying just a little pressure will let you lock your ruler in place while cutting.

Three Steps to Upgrade Your Rulers:
Step 1: Peel & Stick Grip Strips on Your 12" & 24" Rulers.
Six strips are included in the Kit.
Two for your 12" ruler and four for your 24" ruler.
Step 1:
Peel & Stick Grip Strips on Your 12" & 24" Rulers.
Six strips are included in the Kit.
Two for your 12" ruler and four for your 24" ruler.
Peel crystal clear Grip Strips (11¾” long) off the brown backing paper.
Perfect!
Attach them as close as possible to the edges of your ruler.
Attach on both edges, so your ruler won't tilt in one side.
Don't skimp on them. When you leave a gap in between, it will cause ripples in your fabric.
Step 2: Attach Guide Lock Strips on Your 24" Ruler.
Step 2:
Attach Guide Lock Strips Underneath Your 24" Ruler.
Guide Lock Strips keep the long, 24” Fabric Guide, from shifting in the middle underneath your ruler no matter how much fabric you are lining up to.
Note: You don't need them on your 12" ruler.
Guide Lock Strips come with permanent adhesive.
Get extra strips here if you have more than one 24" ruler or in the case your ruler breaks.
Step 3: Clip on the Fabric Guides on Your 12" & 24" Rulers.
Step 3:
Clip-on the Fabric Guides on your 12" & 24" Rulers.
They ensure that the Fabric Guides line up straight on the measurement line you want, down the full length of the ruler.
The 24" Guide comes folded in half in the package.
- Slide one hook onto one end of your ruler.
- Stretch the Guide and slide the other hook straight onto the other end of the ruler.
- Once attached, you can slide the Guide to the measurement line you want.
Important: Keep the Fabric Guides Straight.
The Fabric Guides are made of tough polypropylene, but they have to be very thin to fit under your ruler. Be sure not to bend them when you slide them on or slide them off.
Be sure not to bend them when
you slide them on to clip them onto your rulers or slide them off to remove them.
