I am wondering if anyone has ever ordered anything from this company and if you have do the products work? I am not affiliated with them just wondering if I am missing out on their products. http://guidelines4quilting.com/ I quilt but just easy patterns. Thanks

I use their Grip Strips on all my rulers and really like them. I also have the fabric guides. I do use them and they are okay, but not something really great. They're mostly helpful if you are cutting a lot of strips the same width. You don't have to do as much rechecking that you have the right line.

I had a set of their rulers and was not impressed. They are rather thin plastic and I got rid of them. I ended up sticking with my Creative Grid rulers.

The Guidelines grip strips are fine, but not impressed with the rulers.

I agree with Caspharm, I too ordered their expandable ruler set, they are clumsy, and cheaply made which I suspect will quickly get chipped by your sharp rotary cutters. I do use their Add-A-1/4" and Add-a-1/2" extensions though for pattern making.

I was at a quilt seminar recently and saw a demonstration of a better ruler set of high quality and better design presented by a company called PM Quilting; I will be spending my gifted Christmas money on them.

I love their Grip Strips for both my rulers and June Tailor cutting mats.

Thank you everyone for your comments. Think I will just get their Grip Strips.

The term that comes to mind is...."much ado about nothing"...to me they were a waste of money.

I bought the 12 inch ruler with the snap on fabric guide several years ago and I love it. I wanted to get the 24 inch ruler too but had two other 24 inch rulers and couldn't justify the cost. I recently bought their upgrade kit for my other rulers. I love the grip strips. The expandable fabric guide I'm not sure I like as well as the ones made only for their rulers. The second time I used it the end broke off. I sent Guidelines 4 Quilting an email and they immediately sent me a replacement end piece. This was only a few days ago so I haven't had much chance to use it. It's a little hard to use it you are cutting only one layer of fabric because it's hard to tell if it's butted up to the guide, but works great with two of more layers.

I bought the grip strips and use them on my rulers. That is all I bought, they are great.

I have a set of their rulers and use them quite often. When I have a pattern that calls for a lot of various sized strips, this keeps me straight so not to cut the wrong size. I'll set each of the 3 rulers I have at a different size and then cut all the strips and set them in their perspective pile.
