Using Deloa's Appliguide?

[witha'K'quilting]

I purchased Deloa's Appliguide and would like to 'play'. I was thinking when I purchased it that it could easily be attached then removed. Now I am thinking that is not the case. It looks like I need to raise the hopper foot to perform each step. Is this easy to do. I just got my Millennium up and going...so I could use some assistance. Thanks for the help.

Kristina you don't have to raise the foot. Go to Deloa's site and watch the video. Give her a call if you get stuck, she is terrific helper!

DUH!!! I was certainly not thinking on this one. I got it to go on/off easily!! Thanks Heidi.

I was actually getting ready to post about this wonderful guide!

I used it for the first time yesterday and it works great.

To fasten to your hopping foot, slide it on from the front above the foot and then it should easily nestle around the foot. I hold it with three fingers to the left and my pointer finger to the right of the foot. It can't be used around the back side--I guess because I have a bump there, but it can be slid to the left or right for ease of use.

I have 12 giant Parasol Ladies blocks that I am following the applique--it is going great!

I bought this when doing only my fifth quilt, and so I can pass judgment as a real newbie.

My first attempt outlining applique turned out better than I thought it would. My problem was/is getting my brain to realize that one hand guides the machine head and the other hand guides the guide. It's a gross motor/fine motor thing. I was using the guide to move the head more than I should have.

It's also probably all about PPP.

I'm happy with it! Thanks, Deloa, you did good!

I watch DeLoa's video and just want to be her one day! She makes it looks so effortless.

I've been meaning to post about Deloa's appliguide.

This little treasure, along with clear thread, are my new best friends! I've just completed 2 applique quilts and I'm so pleased with them.

Thank you Deloa. Your little guide is turning out to be one of my most used rulers.

It's this tool just the bees knees? LOL!

I LOVE IT! I think it's my favorite tool so far.

it's now been added to my MQX wish list, of which i always purchase more than a few items ahead of time. I plan on purchasing the sampler book as well.

Gosh what a timely topic. I just yesterday sent DeLoa's website address to my kids for a wish list suggestion for Christmas. Hopefully one of the Santas comes through.

I liked using the appliquide for echo quilting, it has a really good curved edge to use to put your foot against, even when you don't actually hook it on the machine foot.
