A Genius Hack for Slippery Rulers
| March 21, 2025 | Quilting How-To
An Easy Solution to Make Them Non-Slip!
Are you looking for a quick, inexpensive fix for sliding rulers? While several options are available, we like this one because you can still see through the ruler to align the markings on the fabric.
It’s also simple, a quick fix, and works with most rulers. And it can be removed in the future if you decide to do so.
The secret is skate tape. It’s a type of sandpaper used on skateboards, bathtubs, and other applications where a non-slip surface is desired. You can cut it into pieces or strips to apply to your rulers.
Watch as Steffanie from Gettin’ Stitchy demonstrates how to use it in the following video. You can purchase skate tape here.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
