I am interested in doing that type of thing, but don't quite fathom how you would handle the bulk of the quilt and hold the rulers also. It seems like walking and chewing gum!
hey quilterpurpledog- the rulers hold your quilt down just like your hand would. I put some sandpaper dots,or small strips of rubberized shelf liner on mine to help the rulers grip the fabric. Basically you just hold the quilt as usual for framing, but a ruler is under one hand instead of it being directly on the fabric. You move the ruler along the ruler foot and it moves the fabric along with it. Easypeasy
