Don't you just love my No Slip Backing?! I have so many sizes and shapes of templates and rulers to choose from. And I do custom orders, too.
But I bet you already own acrylic templates and rulers that you love.
Don't you hate that they slip?!
Turn your favorites into No Slip Templates by adding my Get a Grip Backing!
Choose from:
- My Grey Backing
- Original Tan Backing
Choose the size that you like:
- 2 sheets 12.5" square
- 1 sheet 16" x 24"
- 1 sheet 18" x 36"
- 16" Diameter Circle
- or call for a custom size
Difference between the Tan and the Grey:
- Both 'grab' your fabric
- The tan gets dirty-looking (watch my video to clean)
- The tan seems to lose its grip over time (but it still grabs)
- The grey is a bit thinner meaning you can cut more layers of fabric!
BTW - I've got a video to show how to care for your Tan No Slip Templates and keep them clean!

Use your favorite permanent adhesive to adhere the backing to your rulers and templates - permanent spray adhesive, rubber cement. etc. I recommend testing on a small square first to make sure your glue will be permanent.
- Place backing material on a flat surface and smooth out any wrinkles.
- Apply to either side of the tan as it doesn't have a 'wrong side'.
- Or apply to the smooth side of the grey backing.
- Apply to the wrong side of your template or ruler.
- Place the template directly on the backing and press down all along the template.
- Let sit for a few minutes.
- Use your rotary cutter, exacto knife or even scissors to cut around the template or ruler.
- Trim off excess with sharp scissors.
- If you still have excess, use a nail file to file away any excess backing.
