I have jumped into the template arena yet. What kind(s) are you collecting?

"Is EQ a tool?" you ask? Well, I suppose you could say it is. Regardless, I'm guilty as charged, too! :lol: I'm still learning to use mine, but then, aren't we all? :wink:
Now you've piqued my curiosity amma, just what is this "circle gadget attachment" you're referring to? Inquiring minds would like to know! :?:

It is an attatchment that helps you to sew perfect circles of various sizes..
You snap it on after adjusting the size you want and pedal to the medal and you have sewn a perfect circle. I am thinking of it for use with decorative stitches for some quilting...or decorating denim skirts...it would be great for Cathedral Window's.... I just realized I sound like a infomercial :roll: :oops: :lol: Or am I trying to justify the purchase to myself??? 8) 8) 8)

scroll down to the circular stitcher
I am pretty sure that they make these for other makes of machines, too.

I have quite a few specialty rulers, many of them yard sale finds. One that I did buy and haven't used a lot (yet) is the Flying geese ruler. Some are more like templates, and it is good to have them when you need a certain shape.
I'm sure I'd have more if they'd just lower the prices!

Yes, I have a problem... My name is Deb and I am addicted to gadgets. That is all I can say. If it is out there I want it. I like gadgets.
I have about a dozen rulers and I have yet to learn how to use them - nearly all of them have been left untouched...

I have a 6x12 a 12.5x12.5 and the fiskar cutter ruler in one.
I was looking for something like the circle stitcher when I started making Liam's quilt. I ended up fixing a thumb tack to my machine. like this... http://sewing.about.com/library/sewn.../aaqa0205a.htm
