Cairns Posted May 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I don't know what happened to the rest of my post. Funny. I want to know how to mark the quilt sandwich once it's loaded on the machine. It doesn't seem to have enough support to accurately mark. I use chalk and water-soluble pen.

Gail O Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Put your ruler base on, and move the head close enough to where you are marking to use the base as a table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie in Ok Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I took an old adjustable stand and put a board on it to increase the drawing surface. It is on wheels so I can just slide it along under the quilt. Sometimes I just get lucky being creative. The stand use to hold a tv for karaoke that we no longer needed. Here is a picture. I know someone also used an ironing board under the quilt to give her a surface to drawn on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaC Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I have the hydraulic lift and have been known to put a portable table under the frame and lowered the lift to the table. The extended base works well, too, for small marking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelissaNH Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I have put my ironing board under the quilt in the frame and raised it up to the height of the quilt. Worked like a charm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairns Posted May 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Well, thanks, all. Lots of good ideas. Quilters are so creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 I do just like Melissa. The ironing board gives me just the support and at the right height I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
