I'll take this over sliced bread! (special tip added 3/8/09)

The greatest thing since sliced bread! I'm a gimic person, but a very discerning one. I've been looking at the big gripper handle at quilt stores, but it is just too big for my rulers. i think i have 1 that it would fit on. well the other day when DH insisted I order the book, Stars Across America, since I was watching the theatre and mentioned I would like to have the book someday, he said order it now and he helped me order it. Then he said what else do you want. I said i've been looking at this "in between gripper" that is just out and it looks like it would be so much easier to use that the thumb since my left thumb has been giving me problems. "Oder it" were his words. so i did.

oh my goodness, it is wonderful. it will fit even on the 4 1/2 inch fussy cut ruler. it has stolen my heart. This is not a paid commercial, (would be nice it it was because I could use a second one!), but I just had to talk about it.

Put it on your wish list or your must have list or any other list you can think of so you can eventually get it. It is listed on QIAD website under new products. Just had to put the picture here again, it's so adorable. carol/kittyquilt
It's called The In-Between Gripper

Oh Carol, I have it and absolutely love it. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I have the "mid-size" one too, the BIG one is just too big for me too.

Isn't he a keeper ... encourages you to get quilting stuff ... what a guy! ;-)

Yes, DH is a real keeper, he just loves to see me sewing--says I always look so happy when I've been sewing--it's so true.

hugs, carol/kittyquilt

How does this work? Does it suction onto the ruler?

That's a useful tool to have. I like purple too! I had to chuckle at your DH telling you to order. My DH would faint dead away if I wanted a quilting item and only mentioned I wanted it. LOL.

Those grippers are great. I have the large one that fits on the 6 x 24 ruler and the large square ones. It really helps to not have to press down so hard to hold your ruler down. I have good ole Arthur in hands and it really helps. I don't have the small one yet.

Kittyquilt thank you for posting about this! I put it on my wish list at QIAD shopping, but wasn't sure if it really worked. My left thumb has really been hurting alot lately, and I know it's from holding down the ruler...probably a little arthritis, too.
So now I know it is worth the money!!!
Thanks so much!
