I was blown away again by the large number of high-quality crafts and DIY projects among our link party-goers. Wow. And so I had a hard time to pick a winner to be featured. But I did: it’s a tutorial on how to use a Quilting bar on your sewing machine. It was submitted by Sew Well Maide.


Quilting Bars
A quilting bar is a piece designed to slot into the walking foot of your sewing machine. It rests on your fabric surface on the exact distance of the grid lines you wish to sew. As a result, with you quilting bar, you can sew perfectly even- spaced lines; ideal for grid quilting.
