I have a 5 foot T that I picked up at a garage sale - between that and using a yard stick, I can usually get my line marked. I use it to mark my first line and then I use my quilting bar set to whatever distance I want the lines to be apart and then stitch away. When I finish going one way, I mark my line going the other way and then I'm off stitching again.

All you need for cross hatching is a straight ruler - and a curved ruler with 1/4" line for curved cross hatching. It's super simple but extremely effective! I do both on my long arm AND my regular domestic home sewing machine. I mark lines on the quilt for both with the rulers...with the long arm I need to use the ruler for curves but on the sewing machine I just free hand it over the pre-drawn lines.
