Laser level use


Recommended Posts

I just saw something about using the laser level to square up your quilt top before you start quilting.  It sounds like a really good idea but I haven't tried it yet.  I'd have to actually finish something first.

Perhaps for quilting, you just shoot the beam and use that as a guide . . .

 

Let us know if you figure it out

My mother's day gift from my husband was a 90 degree laser level.  My request!.

 

It has two beams at right angles to each other,  I can sit it on top of the quilt with one beam straight up the side, to the marked  quilt edge on the rollers and scooch the  quilt across the frame to have it square to the second beam.

I use mine to block the quilt square after it is quilted.  I agree, my channel locks keep the sides square.  I will give it a try on the frame next quilt.  Mine is also the 90 degree type.  Very cool.

Thanks, I think I can use the square and laser to square up my quilts after quilting, and get a nice perfectly (as close as I can get it to perfectly) square to bind.

I'm not so sure about using it on the quilt frame. seems it wouldn't give the true edges & center, since

there are places a quilt would have less, or more stitching and affect the sides.

Thanks for the idea, though.
