lkl Posted May 12, 2015 Report Posted May 12, 2015 I just discovered these template/ rulers. Have you used or seen a demo of them in action at quilt shows? Are they a new thing? After watching the video I was thinking that the smaller one (5") might be what I need to improve my SID. I think that you'd still need to use an extended base. Curious for feed back. http://glidengo.com Leslie
srichardson Posted May 12, 2015 Report Posted May 12, 2015 The only thing that I have read about them was positive! http://sewnsewquilting.blogspot.com/2015/05/fullness.html
brendasr8 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Posted May 15, 2015 I really like the idea of the Tru Line and La Petite, but I have a concern because of the issue I have when I use a different ruler (the LIne Tamer ruler) with my George. When I use that ruler, I have to use it on the diagonal, because the protrusion where George's hopping foot attaches to the angled head runs into it. Wouldn't that also be a problem with the Glide 'n Go Tru LIne and La Petit? Is anyone currently using these rulers? Brenda
anniemueller Posted May 15, 2015 Report Posted May 15, 2015 This is the first I'm seeing of these. I'm curious to hear what others have experienced with them.
Sheri Butler Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Same here, and noticed they do not mention APQS or Nolting machines. hummmmmm.....maybe a phone call to see if any APQS owners or Nolting owners purchased?
lkl Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Posted June 1, 2015 Sheri In the Store ordering section of the website, it indicates, by ruler type, which ruler is compatible with a particular machine, including APQS etc. and which machines are not compatible for that particular ruler.
lnieland Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 I bought a complete set and have had them a week or two. So far the only one I've used is the 5" plate, and I love it. Seems like I've been doing a lot of pantos lately, and the 5" plate smooths out the fabric as I move across the quilt - no need to reach across the roller with one hand to keep the fabric smooth (unfortunately, not all quilts I get are perfectly pieced and flat!) while trying to guide the machine with the other. They recommend low-loft batting. I've been using either QD Poly Select or Hobbs 80/20, and the ruler works great with both of them.
mswings Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 These look very interesting to me as well. I've not seen them before. Might have to order them. I really like how the platter smooths out the fabric ahead of the hopping foot.
