I am looking for some clear grips to adhere to my quilting rules.  I have seen a few different ones, some look like sandpaper and a brown colour in the pack.  I'm not sure if these would cover the marking on the rule. Is there a clear one and where would I find them?  I am looking online.
Thanks  :snip:

I've used clear round ones called True Grips from Cotton Patch.  They have a hole in the middle so you can place them over the intersection of 2 lines without obscuring it.  You will find them under ruler accessories (I've never worked out how to copy a link on a Kindle)

Yes I use something similar, in fact they may be the same but I haven't still got the packaging.

Thanks Plosh, and maliw, I did see these but thought they looked quite thick?  If they work for you they should work for me.  I will look into getting some  0_0

I use True Grips as well and don't find them too thick. Very happy with them. 8)
