Is there a trick to using it?? Mine seems to move oe something because I can NEVER get straight lines. Or is it the operator?? LOL

I much prefer the blue. I do have the purple and you are correct. It is less adhesive.

Very cool gadget. Can see where it would be super helpful in button holes or making eyelets for ribbon; but with cross hatching I'll stick with my trusty little Dritz sewing ruler from the sixties.

I use painters' tape, but I find it is not very precise, which is ok for me, but maybe not for someone who wants more accuracy. The tape itself takes up space and I am not very precise when stitching along the edge. It's hard to stay close to the tape without stitching through it.

When I use the tape I stitch about 1/4" away from it because I would also be stitching right through it. I can't remember if there is a 3/4" tape. I usually quilt more than 1" apart anyway.

Same here. It really works slick .

There is "Frog" tape, which is green and is another brand of a painter's tape. It works well.

I have had mine move before...if it is always happening..you could stick a little piece of tape over it where it attaches and that should help.

Mine moves too. I put some tape (coincidentally, blue painter's tape-lol) on a couple of spots to prevent it from sliding back and forth.

I'm guessing it doesn't come out of the stitching easily, either. Grrr. I have awful vision on allergy days and was hoping the tape would be easier than the walking foot bar. For some reason, I am terrible with that.

The last time I tried to use the bar, I was quilting in a chicken wire pattern, and it was so wonky and inconsistent, I finally decided that it was chicken wire after the chickens had pushed against it.
