Handi Quilter Channel Locks

The Handi Quilter Channel Locks are a practical accessory designed for longarm quilters who want to sew perfectly straight horizontal lines across their quilt top. By locking one dimension of movement on your longarm machine, these channel locks take the guesswork out of ruler work and grid quilting, giving you consistent, professional results without the need for a separate ruler or guide system.
