My favorite ruler for George is the Line Tamer. It's used for creating straight lines and I use it a lot. The link below includes access to a short video that Patsy Thompson made about using this ruler. https://www.fourpawsquilting.com/pages/template.html Have fun with your George! He's awesome! Brenda

What method to prepare for basting quilt
brendasr8 replied to judyday's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
Judy, today I was quilting on MG (Mega-George) and I realized another important reason why I love using Sharon Schamber's basting method. I am doing more and more ruler work and the rulers just sit unimpeded on the basting thread. If I were using safety pins, I would need to remove all of the pins in the ruler's area, too. -

What method to prepare for basting quilt
brendasr8 replied to judyday's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
I, too, use the Sharon Schamber method and I have used it on all sizes of quilts. It always works. I love not using the safety pins and clamps. Good luck, Judy, in finding the method that works for you and that you feel most comfortable with! -
Parrs or Westalee rulers for George
brendasr8 replied to delores62305's topic in Quilting Gadgets and Goodies
Delores, I suggest that you check out Patsy Thompson's blog. She has a George, although she also does a lot of her ruler work on a domestic machine. She has her own rulers, but she uses the Westalee rulers as well and would be a very good contact person about using them with George. http://blog.patsythompsondesigns.com/ Brenda -
APQS listened and really came through for quilters. Last week new feet were added to the online store and those feet make it possible for us to use rulers on all sides of the feet. For George they are the Saddle Shoe (open-toe) ruler foot and the True ¼ inch Platform (closed-toe) Ruler foot. I have my new feet and I love them!!! I couldn’t use rulers on the right side of the previous feet because the rulers would run into the slanted bar that connected the foot to the machine. The new feet have a bent shaft that attaches to the foot vertically so the ruler can now sit right next to the foot on

New George - sandwich basting question
brendasr8 replied to delores62305's topic in George Quilting Machine
Welcome to your wonderful adventure with George, Delores! I, too, have a George and I baste all of my quilts using Sharon Schamber's method. I love it. I have used it on all sizes of quilts, with the largest being about 90 inches square. Brenda -
Oh my, Mary Beth and Oma! You crazy gals had me laughing out loud! Brenda

Once again I was asked to create a mini-quilt for the silent auction at IQA's International Quilt Festival in Houston. Here is this year's creation. Its name is Spot On! and, with the exception of the binding, all of the fabrics either have dots/spots on them or I quilted them on. It was fun to make! Brenda

Thanks, Jim, for doing all of the leg work on this and informing us. Really good info. I use Dream Wool a lot and feel even better about it now. Brenda
