trudie Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Does anyone have an idea for marking the useable throat space while quilting? I struggle knowing how far to the back the machine can safely go and also how far forward? It would be so much easier if the machine came all the way to the backing bar (I float my tops). thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Deming Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Hi Trudie. I use a 14' long tape measure called longarm centering tape - you can find it on Amazon. I attach it to the sides of my frame and position it so that it is just within my quiltable space. I "trap" it with a long flower-head pin (not poking through the tape), or you might be able to use your clamps. (Found this picture online.)
