Besides the rulers that HandiQuilter carries, have any of you found great rulers to use with the HandiQuilter?

I am especially interested in rulers to help guide me in stitch-in-the-ditch and echo quilting. The versi tool helps but I'm wondering if there are other tools that I'm missing out on.

You may want to look at www.gadgetgirls.com they have some rulers you can use with the HQ. Also www.baysidequilting.com has rulers as well. I use the handi quilter ruler for stitch in the ditch. I use the versa tool to echo quilting.

I hate to say it but those take practice practice and more practice.

Just remember that some rulers are too thin for the HQ16. I've tried to use thinner rulers and it can be and extra pain.

My favorite ruler to use for doing that kind of work is a small 2"x6" ruler. The one I use, they don't make any more, but if you can find one that size, it is the perfect size to hold on to while doing stitch in the ditch,etc. Make sure it is at least 1/4 inch thick so it does not slip under the hopping foot while you are sewing. All rulers you use for sewing on the HQ16 need to be 1/4 inch thick.
