I just watched a demonstration online of the quilters slidelock rulers - the 24", the 14". You can choose the bright green base/edge or a more subtle light blue. Can anyone comment on the brightness and possible distraction of it? It was mentioned in the demo that some people would find the bright green light too intense. I don't want the 3-piece set, with the lighted line ruler - if you buy the set, the shipping is free. I think the almost $17 shipping to Wisconsin is excessive for 1 24" ruler, & that is what is holding me back. I have a lot of experience with shipping costs, & I know that I could mail a package the size and weight of this ruler for less than $17. This is the regular shipping cost, not expedited.

Yes, the Slide Locks have been modified since I purchased mine -- so many choices now! Mine are the clear ones. I took a black "Sharpie" marker to the edge of the plastic. That gave me just enough of a color difference so that I didn't place my rotary cutter in the wrong area.

Hi, I have had the short and long Quilters Slidelocks for a few months now and I think they are one of the best things I have bought. I now feel completely safe cutting fabric and the rulers certainly do what they say..................they do not slip.
I am in Australia and couldn't buy them directly from the company because of shipping restrictions, but if anyone is interested you can buy them from Erica's Fabric and Craft and get them shipped overseas. At the time this company paid for half the overseas postage over a certain purchase amount, so the cost was reduced considerably.

You bet I've tried this! I ordered the 14" size and found it to be SO useful that I promptly ordered the 24" lighted Slidelock.
Without a doubt this is just about the best tool for quilting that I've ever bought. Everyone should have one.

Thanks Diane. Looking at adding a small hole in the base so the Slidelock can be hung. Have a couple of other things in the works as well.

PS I have been using your product and it works GREAT!!! Your husband did a nice job. One thing that you might consider, is adding a spot for a hanging hook (if possible.) That would allow it to be hung from a pegboard when not in use.

Pat - I used a credit card, but I did have to go through the screen to get to that option. They have a Facebook page too. Perhaps you could post something there and they would respond to you.

Thanks. I don't use paypal and need to know how to order using another form of payment.

Rosemary - yikes! I don't even want to try and imagine how much you have to pay for shipping, duty, etc. There is a spot on their website where you can ask for an international shipping estimate.

“All shipping charges are per USPS Parcel Post rates from Scottsburg, Oregon to destination point.”

Pat - I checked their website (link is listed in initial post on this thread), but I could not find a straightforward "Contact Us" section. They should improve that! I did manage to send a message to them (eventually) by filling out information in the "100% Guarantee" section. I mentioned your request and gave them the link to this forum topic. Hopefully, they will join in soon.

Hope that helps!
