Why Fabric Guides? Why not just mark my lines with tape?

Tape is helpful, but the Fabric Guides in the Upgrade Kit not only mark the line but also butt right up against the edge of your fabric, making accurate alignment a breeze.

Can I buy just the yellow Fabric Guides to put on my rulers?

Yes, but you’ll need two other items that come in the Kit. Grip Strips prevent slipping and are the same thickness as the yellow Guides, making everything level. The Guide Lock Strips prevent the long 24" Guide from shifting in the middle.

What keeps the long yellow Fabric Guide on my 24" ruler from shifting in the middle?

The Kit includes self-adhesive, textured Guide Lock Strips that lock the middle of the 24” Guide in place when you set your ruler down. Attach them under your 24” ruler, and the Guide will press up against them, preventing any shifting while cutting.

Are the yellow Fabric Guides durable?

The yellow Fabric Guides are durable yet thin enough to fit under your rulers. They also have built-in stretchy bands that pull them perfectly straight. Just stretch and slide them straight on and off without bending, and they will last a long time.

Is one end of the Short 12” Guide just a short hook by itself?

Yes. While the 2 pieces that make the 24” Fabric Guide include both short hooks and long Guides, one end of the 12” Guide is just a short hook by itself.
