My first 3 pairs of quilting gloves were the Machingers and there is nothing wrong with them except if you use a lot of dark colored fabrics in your quilts, they tend to get dirty quicker and if you are like me, I don't take time to wash them after a few uses. The GAR fit me better too.Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960683751935834250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339722470418175310.post-74714815663663677842018-01-26T09:46:13.406-05:002018-01-26T09:46:13.406-05:00I bought a Janome ruler foot and have used it on m...I bought a Janome ruler foot and have used it on my Bernina 1031, so maybe that would work for you shoshu?<br />Great tips here-thank you for the info about the strips to prevent sliding rulers.Tammy Hutchinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03347076471352903932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339722470418175310.post-18511641135286868222018-01-26T08:25:10.554-05:002018-01-26T08:25:10.554-05:00i have an older bernina machine [1130] and have be...i have an older bernina machine [1130] and have been trying to find out about a ruler foot for it. so far, everyone tells me that they are only made for the newer machines. if anyone knows differently, please let me know!thanks in advance, shoshaha s5821140@gmail.comshoshuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15714346526725016680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339722470418175310.post-3431670207546302132017-12-10T00:59:01.156-05:002017-12-10T00:59:01.156-05:00Try Accents in design ruler foot.

If you order from amy's quilting adventures, if you'll leave a note with your machine model, they'll make sure you ordered the correct foot (they sell low, mid, and high shank ruler feet) I'm not affiliated with AQA at all, I just recently ordered a ruler myself, so thought I'd pass along the info. (That said, I found her craftsy class to be a mix of repetition of info available for free on her blog and advertising for the many rulers she sells, so I can't recommend it.)<br />happy quilting ~ Tracythe mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06442659609532682275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339722470418175310.post-64175046186369019722017-02-14T18:28:48.563-05:002017-02-14T18:28:48.563-05:00I've been curious about ruler quilting on my d...I've been curious about ruler quilting on my domestic machine.

I agree that it doesn't take as much pressure to hold the ruler in place as one might think. I tend to push my ruler against my ruler foot a bit too much. I can always tell when I'm using too much pressure because my shoulders start aching!

With my Bernina 350PE, the thinner rulers work nicely, and I seldom use the Handi Quilter one. The thickness seems to throw me off when I try to line up the ruler. I did have trouble with the thinner rulers when I was using the table that came with the machine, since it slopes. No problems now that I have a Sew Steady. The new Bernina ruler foot is great.Chris K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339722470418175310.post-11803877307157080742017-02-09T11:58:34.176-05:002017-02-09T11:58:34.176-05:00haven't tried this but you have certainly piqu...haven't tried this but you have certainly piqued my interest.
