On a low-shank home sewing machine, a 1\/4-inch ruler will often hit the presser foot screw or the shank itself, preventing you from moving freely. This ruler is specially milled to 1\/8-inch thick to provide perfect clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"20\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDo I still need a ruler foot with this tool?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes. You absolutely must use a specialized low-shank ruler foot designed for your specific sewing machine. Never use a standard darning foot or walking foot, as the ruler can slip under the needle and cause damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"21\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCan I use this low shank ruler on a longarm machine?\u003c\/b\u003e No. A 1\/8-inch thick ruler is too thin for longarm hopping feet or high-shank machines. It can easily slip under a high-clearance foot, which is dangerous and can break your needle or ruin your quilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"22\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIs this item being discontinued?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes, this specific low-shank model is available only while supplies last. If you have a low-shank machine and want to master clamshell designs, we highly recommend securing yours before they are gone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Creative Grid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45917056008294,"sku":"CGRQTA3LS","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/7872\/8294\/files\/CGRQTA3LS.jpg?v=1783544027","url":"https:\/\/threadworks.com\/products\/creative-grids-low-shank-archie-quilting-tool-cgrqta3ls","provider":"Thread Works ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
