I use it to mark the spaces and then a ruler to draw the line. It is good when you want even spacing but the area doesn't divide evenly into inches.
|
I have one that I use for spacing curtain hooks and button hole; my husband uses it for woodworking; never thought of using it for quilting!
|
I bought a 4 ft and 6 ft straight edge ruler. They were inexpensive $8 and $10 at Lowe's. 2 1/2" wide. I put clear first aid tape on the back of the rulers and that helps keep them from moving.
|
there is blue and green tape too that aren't supposed to be very sticky. no residue like the beige tape can leave.
|
I used my 6x24 ruler and disappearing pen on a baby quilt and was very pleased with how it came out. But I don't know if I would do something like that on a larger quilt. You would have to keep laying it out on a flat surface to mark the next lines. Same would go for the painters tape I would think. For those of you that use the painters tape, how many lines do you mark at one time?

I just use painters masking tape to mark lines for quilting straight lines. Place tape, sew along side, remove tape and reuse it again. It lasts for several lines, than just replace it with new tape. Works for me & painters tape is pretty cheap.

I also use the bar attachment. Works very well.

Hmmm..if you stick a pen on each point, you could use it to draw some cool stuff! Gigantic baptist fans. Zen-style ripples and waves. Make one end a pin (like maybe use a knitting needle) and seems like concentric circles would be pretty easy.
I just might have to get one of these. I think it might have some interesting possibilities! |
