  • Tape is helpful, but the Fabric Guides in the Upgrade Kit not only mark the line but also butt right up against the edge of your fabric, making accurate alignment a breeze.

  • Yes, but you’ll need two other items that come in the Kit. Grip Strips prevent slipping and are the same thickness as the yellow Guides, making everything level. The Guide Lock Strips prevent the long 24" Guide from shifting in the middle.

  • The Kit includes self-adhesive, textured Guide Lock Strips that lock the middle of the 24” Guide in place when you set your ruler down. Attach them under your 24” ruler, and the Guide will press up against them, preventing any shifting while cutting.

  • The yellow Fabric Guides are durable yet thin enough to fit under your rulers. They also have built-in stretchy bands that pull them perfectly straight. Just stretch and slide them straight on and off without bending, and they will last a long time.

  • Yes. While the 2 pieces that make the 24” Fabric Guide include both short hooks and long Guides, one end of the 12” Guide is just a short hook by itself.

Step 1: Attach Grip Strips Under Your Rulers

quilt ruler upgrade kit by Guidelines4Quilting

Attach one strip on each edge of your 12” ruler and two on each edge of your 24” ruler. *Grip Strips are crystal clear and do not obstruct your vision. It's easy to reposition Grip Strips without leaving any sticky residue.

Step 2: Attach Guide Lock Strips Under Your 24" Ruler

The Guide Lock Strips should be attached under your 24" ruler before clipping the Fabric Guide on. They will lock the middle of the Guide in place when you set the ruler down on your cutting mat, preventing the Guide from shifting. Guide Lock Strips are not required for your 12" ruler.

Step 3: Stretch and Clip the Fabric Guides On Under Your 12" And 24" Rulers

This product is great in theory, but an actual practice I did not find it helpful. Yes we all want our rulers to stay where we put them when we cut, however we also all need to make micro measurements and adjustments from time to time. Because of the non- slip stickers on the back, it's impossible to make these small measurements. Also, the yellow cutting guide that is on the back is not rigid plastic, and is not straight. It is slightly bowed side to side, which makes my cuts not precise. As I said, this is great in theory, but not so great in practice. My 10 lb dumbbell will continue to work just fine for me.

I would recommend this guide to all quilters. It helps create straight cuts for more accurate piecing.

I had really high hopes for this cutting a quilt with 1 million different strips and 1 million different sizes. After buying a new ruler and cleaning it thoroughly and following all the directions, I still had difficulty where the fabric wanted to slip under This thing and not produce accurate cuts. The price is very high for what you get. And frankly, it doesn’t work that well. I had a lot better luck with using some clear plastic tape like they use on IV lines on the back of the ruler to prevent slipping. In the end, I don’t use it. I don’t find it helpful. I don’t find it efficient, and I think it messes up a lot of cuts because the fabric slips between the ruler and this device.

Works pretty good. I put tape over the numbers on the ruler before placing the upgrade kit on so that the sliding would not wear the numbers off the ruler.

Ich hatte mir das Produkt anders vorgestellt. Es handelt sich um 2 verschieden lange Plastikleisten billigster aufmachung. Damit diese an normalen Linialen halten, ist ein dünnerer Platikstreifen integriert, der begrenzt dehnbar ist. Des Weiteren gibt es noch klebbare Plastikstreifen, die glaube ich dafür sind Liniale rutschfester zu machen. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis eigentlich 0 Sterne.Ich werde lieber weiterhin einen Klebestreifen auf mein Linial kleben, wenn ich mehrere Stoffstücke gleicher Größe einfach zuschneiden will.Leider konnte ich das Produkt nicht zurückgeben (einfach zu teuer), da der Supermarkt USA keine deutsche Rücksendeanschrift wie z.B. Bic Warehouse hat. Also wieder 18,69 in die Tonne gekickt....

Molto utile! Ha soddisfatto in pieno le mie aspettative: impedisce lo scivolamento del righello durante il taglio. La consegna e stata molto veloce li consiglio vivamente

Superb item. Might appear flimsy but are actually very strong and a brilliant idea. Like it says on the instructions, it's the difference between handmixing and using a food processor - more chance of getting it right every time. Brilliant service from BicWarehouse too.
