LadyLake Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Is anyone familiar with the use of acrylic templates for quilting on a home sewing machine? I'm looking for both instructions and sources for these templates. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Never even heard of using a template with a DSM. How would that work since you move the fabric and not the needle? Please let us know what you can find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kueser Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 The only thing I can think of is that you would mark first, then quilt. Quilters Rule has the thinner templates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Joan I can't imagine how you would be able to use templates on a home machine. Maybe something that attaches to the presser foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlhdesigns Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Linda...... if the DSMachine is set up on a frame you move it around just like the LAs. Also a darning foot is used not the presser foot. Joan......You might try google search or check out Checker Dist . I never noticed before but you are in Duluth, my brother lives near Duluth and we park our RV up there for the summer months. I have visited Karen several time, I will have to give you a call next time we are in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Go to Quilter's Rule. They have 1/4 rulers for our LAs and thinner rulers (templates) for medium and DSMs. Call them they have great service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyLake Posted May 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I'm giving this information to my quilting friend, and will let you know what she finds out. And, Rebecca, yes -- give me a call when you head north! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
