Heritage Keepsakes Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I have read several different posts with the phrase 'Texas Hold Em'. I understand it to be a braking system that is used when you remove the front (quilt top ) bar. (someone in the know please correct me if I've got this all wrong) If possible, could a picture be posted of it please, so I can actually see how it attaches and also any information, eg. pros and cons of it and where I would obtain it from. I can definitely see the quilting benefits of removing that bar! Thanks in advance for your input on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busy Quilting Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Julie, It is not so much a brake but a very short piece of the quilt top roller with a peg/post to go into the eye bolt at the end of the table you have you brake on. Les made me one with a 2 1/2" hole cut in an old kitchen bench top with a key hole saw.. He then scred a piece of 5/8 dowel to the end to go in the eye bolt. I had mine off for 18months put it back on to use the upfront Circle Lord ( but didn't). I use that front top roller on every quilt now to make sure it is straight etc. At times i wish it wasn't there but taking it off doesn't give you any more room on the quilt top, it just means you can get up closer!

barbm Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I can't seem to copy the thread address here while working on my tablet, but if you do a search for "removing top roller," you'll find a photo. The thread is from 2009 so you'll have go search back to 'the beginning.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicheaton Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 So this is still available from APQS? I didn't see it on the parts page....I imagine that removing the 3rd bar would also pose a problem for the Quiltazoid or any upfront accessories, right?? Interesting....
