smorris Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hi Mary Beth, and Westlee (welcome to the APQS forum Westlee) You will like what you see. The cross hatch guide is beautifully made, smooth rulers cut by laser, markings for spacing, a really quality product. By the way, I didn\'t know the manufacturers or even that the product existed until a few hours ago, but am a fan already. Best wishes sue in australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susanne.Hughes Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hello Sue and Mary Beth, I saw this product last weekend at the Sydney quilt and craft expo and quilt symposium. It will be a definite toy in my toy room!!! Belinda Betts trialed the product during her lesson/demonstration and was so impressed that she made them sell her their last one. It really is magic and very,very well priced. The manufacturer was going to be on the New Inventors show. It works well and as you said Sue, the workmanship is great.

Sue did you get to tell Belinda hello for me.....I miss that girl. And now I was just thinking I needed to contact her so she could bring me a set when she comes over for MQX next spriing. She is too funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltingjoyful51 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 How do we get pricing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susanne.Hughes Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 No Bonnie, I forgot. Being new to this business/pleasure, I was just so engrossed in what she was talking about. I had a brain overload at the symposium, trying to soak up all that great information and the great tips! That woman must have a least a trillion rulers to her name! When you do see her, ask her what that lady did to her at the Sydney sypmosium, who asked her about her top Five rulers and five only!!! ......... I only gave her a choice of no more than five........... however, we broadened it to five sets and we got to set 5A and 5B and then she continued to her sixth and seventh favourite ones. She is a really lovely lady and I understand why the two of you would have hit it off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susanne.Hughes Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 OK: It is called "The Longarm Machine Cross Hatch Guide"and provides an accurate 45, 60 and 90 degree guide for longarm machine quilting to use from left or right. The basic tool is supplied with the 3" straight guide. There are a further 14 double sided guides, that can be purchased seperately giving you another 28 patterns. They will have a video on their web site, but last Sunday, they still hadn\'t had the chance to load it on the web and they have been to the Sydney Craft show this week and weekend, so be patient. It is that new! It is really well received by the quilters who have seen it and a really good tool. Very easy to use! The Guides are very substantially made as well - very solid and firm. The price I have is AUS$89.00 for the basic guide and AUS$59.00 for the accessories. If you have a business, I would enquire about Wholesale prices. Hope that helps a little.

Gator Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Westalee, Looks like a "have to have" product. Are all the guides available (only saw 3 on the international page). What is the fabric guide ruler? Are there going to be any distributers here in the states? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merryjo2003 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Gotta have one. I have the HF, but I have trouble with crosshatching. This looks easy. Like all the rulers, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
