Janette Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Hi Kristina, Did you get the 9/16 one? or the 1/2 inch? Just out of interest though in case they ever get to ship internationally. I dont see why they can't ship internationally though, Deloa sent me a ruler for only $5 shipping and it got here safe and sound. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynne in Iowa Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I just got mine in the mail yesterday. Question - Did you use a base on your machine or is the tool small enough to not need it? If it works as slick as it looks, I may even end up liking binding. It is really not my favorite thing now. Could explain why so many things get to that point and sit forever!

witha'K'quilting Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I purchased the 9/16" one for apqs machines...and i left my rulermate on! i did find however that in order to slide the ruler along...my hopping foot needed to be at its high position or at least only halfway down. In the lowest position...the needle screw was hitting the ruler...and caused it to be tight and not move slide well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PamelaA Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I ordered one a few days ago and got a note back saying that they were out but had some on order and that they should arrive in a few weeks. They also said that they would honor the into price for the ruler. Pamela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynne in Iowa Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Finally got the chance to use the binding tool today. Found that pinning the binding occasionally helps alot. Took a little getting used to for a left handed Lenni user, my hands were getting crossed up. With a little more practice is is going to be way better than putting binding on with the DSM!

jmcclannan Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I'm using mine on a second quilt. It worked great on the first one and I loved not having to wrestle the quilt at my DSM. This is a great tool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjtinkle Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I've never applied binding with my longarm. If you sew it on as you go, doesn't it effect how evenly the quilt rolls up as you advance it, with the extra bulk of the binding on the sides?

ffq-lar Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I save the binding for last--that's a lot of binding to keep organized and out of the way if you stitch it as you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandmaLKB Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I've found it easier to apply the binding after all the quilting is done. I just roll back to the top and go from there. Then I don't have to have the tails of the binding getting loose or in my way. I ordered a tool called Line Tamer which is for SID, but I think it will work well for bindings, too. Will let you know how it works. It's from Four Paws Quilting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcclannan Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I apply it as I go and it hasn't been a problem at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
