Thanks MaggieLou ... no luck on the googles for anything here yet. Called Michael's, Lowes and Home Depot and no luck. Now that of course doesn't say it doesn't exist as sad to say customer service in the three is never known as a strong point!
Thinking I might contact Testworth direct to find their Canadian distributor, I found this ...

Perhaps the production rights were sold off to someone else?
Does the product keep the carpet/fabric flexible? or does it become somewhat hard?
Thanks!

JoAnn's has it online. They don't carry it in the stores. They call it Fiber-Lok Rug Backing. Here's the link.

Here is a picture of a floor quilt/rug that I want to make. It is made with three Stonehenge panels and a backing piece. You sew them together in strips, then chenille it and paint the anti-slip material on the back. It is soooooooooooo gorgeous. I saw it in a quilt shop in Puyallup, WA during the summer. I am going to a Stonehenge trunk show in Phoenix AZ this coming Saturday and hope they have some of the panels there. Anyone from AZ going to that trunk show?

I never even thought of this idea, but it is wonderful. I was thinking about a little throw rug in my laundry room, just so clothes taken out of the washer don't fall on the floor. A quilt rug is a perfect solution. (I was going to crochet one, but this is so much better.)

I used to make painted floor cloths/rugs and any rubberized paint will work for a backing. You can buy it at the big box stores. They sell it usually for 2 purposes - non-skid rubber step coatings, and some of the truck bed liners that come in a gallon can. Both stay flexible and are washable.
