Amy, love your blog. I recently purchased a sitdown Tin Lizzie and want to obtain a few rulers for freemotion quilting. What rulers/companies would you recommend. I also have a Janome and love it, but I use it for my business and don't want to wear it out.
Love this technique, just wish my machine was large enough to handle using a ruler. I have maybe 7 inches to the right of the needle. It's amazing what a difference a couple inches can make.
Virginia, as long as your machine has a good sized extension table or is set flush with a table top, I think you could use rulers fine on a smaller sewing machine. You’d just have to use the ruler more off to the left of the needle. I do agree about the difference a few inches make. When I moved from my Janome 3160 to the 6600 and gained 3 inches, it made an incredible difference!
