Stitch-in-the-ditch is notoriously one of the most tedious and error-prone parts of machine quilting, but Sid traps the ruler foot securely to keep your needle dead center in the seam allowance. Additionally, quilters love how easy it makes stitching piano key borders; the straight edge and needle stops allow you to lay down perfectly spaced lines without constantly rotating the ruler. The non-slip grip drastically cuts down on hand fatigue, making Sid a reliable, everyday workhorse for both beginners and advanced free-motion quilters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStitch-in-the-Ditch:\u003c\/b\u003e The absolute best tool for keeping your needle precisely inside the seams of your pieced blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStraight Line \u0026amp; Piano Key Quilters:\u003c\/b\u003e Ideal for creating parallel straight lines, mitered corners, and starburst designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDomestic Machine Quilters:\u003c\/b\u003e Measuring 4-1\/2\" x 6\", it maneuvers effortlessly under the limited harp space of standard home sewing machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLongarm Quilters:\u003c\/b\u003e The sturdy 1\/4-inch acrylic profile glides flawlessly along longarm hopping feet without the danger of slipping under the needle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eIncluded Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\"\u003eCreative Grids® Machine Quilting Tool Sid (CGRQTA9)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\"\u003eStep-by-step written instructions and design layout ideas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/b\u003e Creative Grids®\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/b\u003e Angela Walters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e CGRQTA9\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 4-1\/2 inches x 6 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThickness:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\/4 inch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Clear High-Grade Acrylic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,6,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMade in:\u003c\/b\u003e USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDo I need a special presser foot to use the Sid ruler?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes. You must use a specialized 1\/4-inch ruler foot designed specifically for your sewing machine brand or longarm. Standard presser feet, like walking feet or darning feet, do not have the necessary profile and will allow the thick acrylic to slip dangerously under the needle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIs this ruler safe to use on a longarm machine?\u003c\/b\u003e Absolutely.

Simply align the dashed guidelines with the seam of your quilt block, drop your ruler foot inside the cut-out, and stitch. It keeps your needle perfectly centered in the ditch without the risk of drifting off course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"21\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDoes this ruler require me to mark my quilt?\u003c\/b\u003e No!
