Re:***calling all longarm quilting***
Some one asked the questions about using rulers with a longarm - my mom went to Harbor Freight and bought a small round handle (I think it attaches with suction). She put that on a straight ruler and she said it worked great because she had something to hold onto. I haven't tried it yet but I plan to stop at Harbor Freight soon. Happy New Year to all!

With a longarm you really need a ruler that is at least 1/4" thick. Some prefer 3/8". Anything less than 1/4" will eventually slip under the hopping foot, causing your needle to break and perhaps mess up the machine's timing. You didn't say what thickness your mom's straight ruler is, but please warn her to be careful.

We get the catologs in the mail and there is a store 45 miles from here in Ocala we hve been too when DH wanted something there. Of course if I want to go to Ocala to craft store, doesn't happen usually. Living here on W coast of central FL with alot of stores 25+ miles away, it is easier and cheaper to mail order.
