Quilter's Magic Wand
Does anyone know where I could get something like a Quilters Magic Wand (but it wasn't a magic want) that has a slot down the mlddle for making lines?
If you don't know what a Magic Wand is go here: mihttp://wishuponaquilt.com/notions/rulers/quilter-s-magic-wand. Once upon a time I had a ruler or a device that looked like a magic wand but had a slot in it. I'm unable to find one on-line or at home. I used it for marking lines for half square triangles. I would appreciate any help. |
Fons and Porter has one, Nancy Notions has another type of ruler that does this too.

I wish I had a magic wand that would sandwich my quilts

Doggramma - I'm with you. I do my own FMQ and getting them put together ready for FMQ on my domestic is what I don't like. I like mine to be spray basted and that stuff drifts so I like to do it on the deck outside or in the garage (after it's been washed down of course) and in Minnesota that's out of the question. I just finished Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt so have that one to do - I will get it done!

Looks very time consuming and hard to use. I put a piece of painters tape at the 1/4" mark on the throat plate and ran the tape all the way to the front of my machine. I line up the diagonal corners of my square with the edge of the tape and sew. The tape stays in place all the time and I've done HSTs of all sizes using the same tape marking.

Of course it's on sale now since I purchased mine from Amazon and paid $4.19 for it. Plus shipping!!!!!
