I've not tried quilting with rulers, I'm not sure my old machine would be up to it either!Stephiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09461286927746997845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-26661547771967392882015-01-15T00:50:20.588-06:002015-01-15T00:50:20.588-06:00I'm no fan of marking either, I'm too impa...I'm no fan of marking either, I'm too impatient. Also, I often use a hera marker for marking and I find the lines are quite hard to see from certain angles with the LED lighting on my machine.Sarah @ mila+cuatrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17572383479470136805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-9654388557680891092015-01-13T21:41:35.434-06:002015-01-13T21:41:35.434-06:00There's an old book titled Quilting Makes the ...There's an old book titled Quilting Makes the Quilt.

I have some but keep forgetting to use it.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-27997692271694883712015-01-12T17:07:10.589-06:002015-01-12T17:07:10.589-06:00Ann your work on the blades looks great!

It works very well for quilting with your walking foot. Would that be practical for FMQ?

I have to conclude thought that I am a bit of a coward, as the very thought of ruler work makes me feel scared! I'm sure you are made of sterner stuff though.Kajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08417544341324291385noreply@blogger.com
