What a neat idea, and it makes perfect sense (and cents) -
Got this old brain to thinking now. My hubby doesn't understand my sudden like for tool and home improvement stores) Hee hee.

Thank you so much for your ideas.

Ain't it great? I walk down the aisles at Lowes and I look at things like the tin mesh and think - now that would make a great pattern for FMQ - durable, easy to trace....or the pipe insulation...or rolls of sandpaper for palm sanders make GREAT applique templates - and they stick!

I've heard of using clips one puts on their pants when they ride a bicycle.

I tried those and had several. They never worked well for me - they slid off, moved around and didn't keep the roll tight. Plus I was using my Bernina short arm at the time for FMQ and you just can't put that much rolled material under the harp.

I have a mid arm now but even so, using the pipe insulation I find allows you to keep the area taut and manage the bulk. You do need to be sure you have a table or ironing board in front of your machine to support the quilt though.

Great idea. I have a few more ideas for its use as well. Thanks.
