Quilt Halo
#1
Has anyone used this? I saw it at www.jhittlesewing.com. I'm just starting to (try to) quilt on my sewing machine and wondered if this would be a good investment????
Thanks for your input.
This QUILT HALO sits on top of your fabric, and the rubbery edge keeps fabric taut with minimal pressure.
Easy on the hands - you just slide your quilting around with gentle pressure.

Here's a video of it from youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpmMYIDCrZw
It shows the designer, Sharon Schamber using it. I did buy it, and although I am still a beginner with FMQ, find this makes it easier. You do need to have the Supreme Slider or the like to work with it.
I've also got gloves, and if I am sewing in the ditch, or grids, will use them instead. For FMQ, thus far I prefer the Halo & Slider combination.

I have the halo and the supreme slider. It has helped with my FMQ. I took the class with the lady that developed the slider, and she was fantastic. A lot depends on practice. Remember, practice makes perfect. I am glad that I invested in both the slider and the halo.

I have really enjoyed doing crayon quilts this past year. Does anyone have any ideas for resources for horse pcitures that can be easily traced - specifically looking for cowgirls on horses or barrel racers?

I appreciate your help. The coloring page for the barrel racer is cute. My little great niece is six and adores horses. I am excited to trace this on the fabric and add the color. So many ideas..........so little time.
