Cheap circles
3 Attachment(s)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]597371[/ATTACH]For those of us doing ruler work the rulers are super
expensive especially when we don’t know which ones we will really use. So I did a little experiment today. The circle rulers I have are smaller than what I may want to use. So what do I have that is at least 1/4” high. Plates won’t work they are not high enough and slippery. Now my day starts with coffee. Yep the lid is high enough. So here is my experiment. I do have to say placement needs to be with the edge down Therese the hopping foot slips under. Not good. |
Now that is really clever! Thank you for sharing the idea!

Very clever, thank you for sharing !

Neat idea but I need the needle stops on my quilting rulers.

The rulers can be pricey. Your coffee lid is working so go for it.
|
What about us non-coffee drinkers? Guess we'd better make friends with more neighbors, so we can beg a lid to try this!
|
Several cds glued together makes a good circle ruler as well.

Thanks for the very clever idea!

Great thinking! Instead of paying the high cost for a straight edge ruler I asked a glass shop to cut me a 3"x14" piece of thick plexiglass, cost me less than $14.

Because I am a novice beginning to learn about ruler work on a borrowed longarm I experimented to find a way to be more secure for not getting the ruler into machine needle area. I only needed about 6 inches of straight lines for a snowball block and used a paperback book as my "ruler". It helped get nice straight short lines for my stitch in the ditch project.
