Review on πŸ”΄ Half-Circle Templates for Handi Quilter Machines by Barbara Simmons

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Uncomfortable to use on a sedentary long arm

sedentary long arm like the HandiQuilter Sweet Sixteen where you move the quilt and not the head with a needle, you'll want to know, there just isn't enough acrylic to hold on to. I bought some inexpensive round templates from another seller which are much easier to use on a sit up machine, unfortunately they don't have the hand markings that craft rulers do... HandiQuilter's own website has them not, but I've seen a few HandiQuilter reps use them, including one who taught at the Houston Quilt Show last year. But I would recommend them if you can find them as more plastic makes for less "wiggle" and more precise stitching.

Pros
  • Adequate size to accommodate a 1/2 inch bouncing foot
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
