JenS Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I just started longarm quilting, and wondered if anyone can give me some hints, tricks to sewing on the diagnal. I know the y and x axis fight each other, but I can't seem to find a happy medium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoAnnHoffman Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Rulers, rulers, rulers. You need something to help guide the foot. That's the secret. Robs rulers website has a lot. I think I bought some on Bayside Quilting website too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnQuilts Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 And when you use your rulers, make sure you have an extended base on your machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandraC Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 And when you use your ruler and your extended base, make sure not to press too hard on the ruler when you're trying to sew that diagonal line! Sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Another good ruler is the accu-guide which helps you control where the needle/hopping foot are going. A good link for rulers is Donita Reeves site http://www.lovetoquilt.com/longarm_quilting_tools/quilting_rulers_and_guides_and_templates_.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenS Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Thank you all. I've ordered the accu-guide, and it definately helped not holding the ruler down as hard. I think that was the biggest problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
