Gypsy Quilter The Original Gypsy Gripper (TGQ002)

Feet helpful when cutting strips. The final length stays much straighter.

Secures quickly and it’s very sturdy!

I love this quilt ruler grip. I like to use the larger quilt rulers. This makes it really easy to cut the fabric without the ruler slipping. it is also much easier to lift the ruler which prevents the material from shifting as I move the ruler around.

This will take getting used to, mainly because it can only be used on my large ruler. I avoid using said ruler because it's very awkward due to me being small with a short reach. This does hold the ruler steady, but not well enough the ruler doesn't start slipping. Maybe it's due to the ruler not having any sticky or rough texture that prevents it from slide while cutting? I also have small hands, and this grip is rather large, so again, may just be me.Zero issues with suction after I got the parts damp. That's something I think few people may be aware of. For suction cups to work well, they need to be damp first. Dip you finger I water, rub it over the cup, lay it in the ruler, activate the suction, and voila, it sticks. I had to use a coin to break the vacuum seal so I could get this off and put my ruler away.

We bought this after my accident with my hand. I wish I had this before. I was using ruler and rotary cutter. The cutter jumped the ruler and sliced the top corner of my finger and half my nail off completely. I've used this handle a few days and having my hand above the blade makes me feel better. That is pain I don't ever want to experience again. Accidents happen so get one of these so you don't end up like me.

Good grip size. Makes quilt cuts cleaner.

The idea about this product and how it works is great. I purchased it when I sliced my finger on the rotary cutter when I was measuring and cutting. I received it in a timely manner and well packaged. Unfortunately this is way too big for me, I have very small hands I returned it. I find no fault with this product at all and I’m sure it will work for somebody else but it just did not work for me. If it had worked then I would highly recommended it for any size hand . I still recommend it I’m sure it will work great for other people just not for me.

After I purchased the Gypsy Gripper, I started looking at the comments. Three people said they bought theirs at Harbor Freight for much cheaper. I went to Harbor Freight and paid $6.49 plus tax. I compared both of them side to side. It is the exact same thing as the Gypsy Gripper except it is blue and white. And the suction cups on the Gypsy Gripper are about 1/8 of an inch larger that the Harbor Freight one. The plastic box on the gripper from Harbor Freight says Super Grip Suction Mount Handle. But if you go online to Harbor Freight and type in Bath Safety Grip , it will come up as Bath Safety Grip Handle. I am sending the Gypsy Gripper back. Much cheaper than what I paid on Amazon and exactly the same thing but different color. I can live with that....LOL
