New (to me) Tool I Found Helpful for Flying Geese Type Blocks
 

I walked into a class last week with all of my pieces cut up, ready to sew. I informed the instructor that I did not want to draw lines on the back of my little squares in preparation for making my 160 flying geese blocks. I don't want to draw the lines, I don't like drawing the lines, etc.

As I was preparing to figure out how to lay tape on my machine so I'd have a straight edge to run the corner of my little sqaure along as I sewed it to the rectangle, the instructor suggested this tool. It was relatively short money and will do more than just one thing so I did purchase it with my class discount.

I have to say that I've never had an easier time getting those little squares sewn on so they fold over near-perfectly. Usually, I'm resewing many of them. I only had to resew a half-dozen or so.

It's called the Angler 2.

the only thing i don't like is that you have to take it off each time to refill your bobbin

WOW! I want one of those!

I taped it to the machine in four places - two strips of tape in front and two in back. I was able to lift it from the front, leaving it secured in the back so it would go right back into place.

You could fill several bobbins aqhead so you don't have to removrit.

I love mine!

I have one of those, and yes, it does make it easier for flying geese, snowball, and square in a square.

I'll stick with Eleanor Burns method much easier.

I Love the Angler 2!!

160 Flying Geese? I can't wait to see this quilt! Please post! :)
