Use HQ rulers with any brand longarm quilting machine. They are made with precision from high-quality 1/4" thick acrylic, chosen for its strength, clarity, and durability. Handi Quilter rulers are etched, not printed, to provide long-lasting accuracy when quilting. The etching on the ruler is in white.

Using longarm rulers and templates
- Use a ruler base or extended table to stabilize the ruler.
- Apply gentle three-point pressure to the ruler.
- Press the ruler against any side of the hopping foot.
- Press the machine against the ruler.
- Press the ruler against the ruler base with only as much force as necessary to keep the ruler from slipping. Too much pressure will keep the machine from moving.
