Thank you for the info, especially about Sew Steady. I will take a look at their web site. Lots to learn in doing this it seems. Sounds like it would be good for smaller projects like table toppers, because as someone said it takes a lot of readjustments.
The link I posted wasn't one I was going to purchase, it was just a sample of what I was talking about. It's the first thing that came up when I googled machine quilting templates.
