Default Homemade 1/4 inch thick ruler

My husband had these 1/4 inch thick plexiglass pieces cut a while back ( 4 for$5) I watched a video on a women using her regular #24 Bernina FMQ foot and a ruler yesterday. I decided to score some 1/4 inch increment lines on one of my pieces and add 3 pieces of stick on hook side Velcro for more grip. Other then a couple of spots where I didn't keep the foot against the ruler it worked pretty good. I especially liked how it allowed me to FMQ backtrack over lines already quilted. FMQ straight lines has been holding me back on some designs so I think I can go forward now.[ATTACH=CONFIG]509301[/ATTACH]
