A few months back, I made a comment in a post that I was having trouble with my quilting rulers slipping as I quilted around them.

Several people suggested that I try “Grippy”, a spray coating from Odif…..

Now I know that many people don’t like using sprays but…..OH MY this stuff is magic!!!

I tried it first on a 12-inch ruler that I use for long straight lines. I had already added “ruler grip” tape to the underside and that had definitely helped…

BUT, it would still slip, particularly at the ends of the ruler.

So, a quick spray with Grippy (on a piece of parchment paper)…..

….and it was ready to use!!

I sprayed it a bit heavier on the left end and the ruler became a little clouded (not sure if you can really see it in this picture, but trust me it did)!!

But you can see that the rest of the ruler is completely clear.

The test came when I started quilting long straight lines!!

The ruler stayed in place, from one end…..

….to the other…..

I am not sure how often you have to treat the ruler, but it worked wonderfully for 3+ hours of straight line quilting!!

This spray will DEFINITELY be part of my machine quilting toolbox!!
