I promise I will post more pics as I get some of it accomplished.
I have to say though, I learned last night that the proper foot is really important for ruler work.
I used just the regular 1/4 hopping foot on the Juki. I managed to stitch through the ruler.
Yup. A TL-98Q will go most of the way through a 1/4" acrylic ruler. Luckily it slowed itself down, and didn't break the needle or throw the timing. Happened faster than I even imagined. I didn't see it happening at all, and I was going slow.
