I've been thinking of buying the Halo to help with FMQ but the price is expensive. I'm wondering if anyone has it and how it's working for them?

I have one and it works great for small areas to be quilted, like a small feather or motif. It's easy to move the quilt a little at a time very smoothly. Really I have two. I put one on top of the other so it's less pressure needed. I tried two at Sharon Schamber's vendor booth and it was better for me. Sharon told me if I only used it every now and then, I probably would never learn how to use it to my benefit. Practice!

There is a demo on wwwQuiltshopofdelandfl.com. She can't keep them in stock. She has everyone try one when they visit her booth at the different quilt shows. Using two together is something new!! Will have to mention it. OH it is a weighted ring that lets you move your fabric with ease when using your machine to quilt. FMQ

The Halo is a heavy metal rod coated in red vinyl. The C shape one can't compare. Sharon Schamber designed the Halo to be what she needed in her quilting, it may work for some and not others. She has been using two together for a long time.
I have the Machingers and they work great for large area quilting.
