Quilting Ruler Foot: From Finishing Touches Quilting Studio

After about a year the bottom came loose. I sent it back for repair and they sent me a brand new one!!!

Super Love this ruler foot!!!

"Ruler Holder" : This holder is made from foam. Super light and holds a bunch of rulers. I get these foam holders at the end of track season. They hold the medal we give to the kids. One day I decided to see if it would hold my rulers.... and its great! But it couldn't support the weight of the rulers, so I attached a self stick floor tile to the bottom! I held the rulers sideways and they held tight.

Anyone interest let me know I have a bunch. :)

Used Needle Container: I used an old Trident Gum container. Put a hole in the top wide enough for the needles. When it's full I just toss it in the recycle bin. No loose needles!!
