ramona-quilter Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I just replaced the flat hopping foot on my Ultimate I machine with a new hopping foot from APQS. I installed it and it works great. Now I want to order some fancy-smancy rulers. The problem is I don't know exactly what size foot it is and the ruler depends on the foot. The site had rulers based on either 1/2' and 3/4" foot. I am waiting for a call back from APQS but I thought maybe one of you experts knows the answer. What is the standard APQS foot? Is that size based on the measurement from top to bottom, or side-to-side? Or is it the inside empty space?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrna Ficken Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hi Linda. You need quarter inch rulers or templates. You have a quarter inch from you needle to the edge of your new foot also. How fun I love using rulers. So many thing you can do with them. Myrna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Myrna, I'm looking at the 60 degree ruler at: http://www.lovetoquilt.com/longarm_quilting_tools/quilting_60_degree_ruler.htm And they come in 1/2" for all machines or 3/4" for APQS but I didn't see anything that said 1/4" Are you sure that the standard hopping foot is 1/4" and what does that measure? Diameter, depth from top to bottom?? I hate to get a ruller and find out that it works for a Gammill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtreusch Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Linda, I was told about a year ago by someone at APQS that I needed to order 1/2" rulers. If I remember correctly, the 1/2" is referring to the width of the hopping foot. My hopping foot is 1/4" on either side of the needle for a total width of 1/2", therefore I need the 1/2" rulers. The 1/2" rulers that I have all work great with my hopping foot. Debbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Thanks, Debbi. I am just getting started on ruler work so I want to make sure that I get the correct size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheryll Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Linda, I recently ordered the specail Ruler Foot for the APQS Ultimate machine and it is quite a bit larger than the modern hoping foot that is currently on the newer MIllies or Gammills. Some rulers won't work with the replacement foot. This is if your Ultimate 1 had the same little flat foot that kind of turned up at the edge like my Ultimate 2 had. I called it a satelite dish foot because it looked like the old T.V. dishes.I wanted certain rulers and I was told it wouldn't work on the replacement foot. Call Gadget Girls and they will tell you which rulers will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I really need a 1/2 " foot for my Ultmate II. Is there one available? Sheryl had her husband working on one, but I haven't heard anything else about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Remember that the ULT II has a presser foot not a hopping foot. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherryRogers Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I spoke with someone recently that was testing the foot for Sheryl. Perhaps they will update the list soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
