Ideal Seam Guide

 I'm always on the lookout for 

new quilting notions

that help with accuracy

while working on a 

project.

 While perusing the Vendor Mall at the

Tucson Quilters Guild Quilt Show

I watched a demonstration

for the

Ideal Seam Guide

and bought a few 

of their products to play with.

 First you start with the 

Ideal Seam Gauge

and drop the needle into the desired 

seam width hole.

I used the 1/4th inch hole for quilting.
*notice they even have a marking for a scant 1/4th inch*

 Next, line the 

Ideal Seam Guide 

vertically next to the Seam Gauge.

Once the Seam Guide is pressed in position, 

the Gauge can be removed.

The Seam Guide has a rubber backing 

that adheres firmly to the sewing table, 

and can be easily removed

by lifting up on the end.

The guide can be repositioned up to 1,000 times!

When the backing gets "linty"

it can be washed with warm soapy water.

The Seam Guide is available in 4 different sizes.  

I purchased the 10", which fits nicely on my machine.

I've been binding a lot of quilts lately,

and the guide has been especially helpful 

with accuracy as I've fed bulky

fabrics along it's edge.
