The Gypsy Gripper is an incredibly clever and useful quilting tool. It’s essentially an easy-to-grip handle, attached to suction cups that you attach to your quilting rulers. The result? You can more easily hold your rulers in place while you’re cutting–no more sliding fabric or accidental nicks with the rotary cutter. It even has a quick release unlocking lever. This gripper has a little 'ear' that sticks out - it has a small dot that shows green when the suction is working and red when it needs to be refastened
