When using a Medium Shank Foot for your Pfaff machine, you will need to use either the Spring Free

Motion setting for the Expression and Creative range of machines, or put your presser foot into the

mezzanine position - free motion position - darning position (refer to your manual).

We recommend using the #77 Shank Adaptor (the #75 Shank Adapter is too close to the needle plate,

making it difficult to move templates as the shank adaptor presses on the templates).

You must use a Ruler Foot when working with Long Arm rulers and templates, stitching directly onto a

quilt.

Ideally the Ruler Foot should measure 1/2” across the collar with the needle stitching at 1/4” from the

ruler or template edge. This will make it easy to calculate spacing's across a block or quilt.

Nolting, A1, Handy Quilter, Innova and Prodigy machines all have a true ½” round Ruler Foot. Gammil

and APQS have a 9/16” Ruler Foot, which will stitch out at 9/32” from the ruler or template edge. We

now have a 1/2" hopping foot made for Gammill Machines. We now have our own Domestic Machine

Ruler Foot, designed to allow Domestic machines to use our Rulers in all different designs. We have an

where the table meets the machine bed or holes you should apply low tack painters tape to smooth

these out or use a Supreme Slider Mat.

When using rulers make sure that your quilt is tension-ed correctly, it is better to have a slightly firm quilt

than a loose quilt when using rulers.

Remember that every stitch of quilting that we sew draws in our quilt, so it is always necessary when

quilting to make slight adjustments as we go so that our pattern sews out correctly.

When holding the template on the quilt do not push so hard that you restrict the movement of the

machine

Store your Templates flat or in a template rack out of direct sunlight.

Clean your Templates with Isopropyl (eyeglass cleaner) or warm soapy water. Do not use anything that

Templates also come in 4.5mm and 3mm for Domestic Sewing Machines using the Westalee Ruler

Foot.

The Sit Down Machines can use the majority of the templates sold from our web site provided they have

the correct hopping foot.

The throat size on your machine can be a factor in your choice of template, especially the rotating

templates.

Domestic Sewing Machine, go to the Domestic Ruler page or send us an email with your contact
