I had a lovely surprise today from DH. I am just starting on my second quilt and had a hard time measuring out my quilt stitches-hubby offered to help measure it out and made me a long rule for the 5 foot length....I had bought a walking foot on-line but being new to quilting didn't realise the foot only has one guide and it only fits on the right hand side, so not much use for my machine as a stitch guide.
I was a bit disappointed at this so DH asked to look at the guide and disappeared with it for half an hour. he eventually returned with its mirror image- he had gone and fabricated the exact copy only in reverse and it fits perfectly in my walking foot. It was such a nice thing to do and saved me money on having to buy an extra guide as well!.Anyway just wanted to share this with you!
I have added a picture below of the new left handed guide!
