A ruler base for a different kind of frame

Sew Steady Floating Ruler Base – 13½" × 13½". Add a supporting surface around the needle when a conventional platform-supported ruler base does not suit your frame. The Floating Ruler Base attaches to the specified domestic sewing machine.

The Floating Ruler Base is designed for compatible domestic sewing machines on quilting frames that do not have a platform. Its 13½ by 13½ inch surface attaches to the machine using thumb screws and a rear bracket. That attachment approach distinguishes it from bases that rely on a solid platform under the machine. Supply both machine and frame details so the correct application can be checked.

Machine fit & choosing your setup

Is this the right style for you?

Choose Floating when your compatible domestic machine-and-frame setup lacks a platform. If the frame does have a suitable solid platform, compare Domestic Ruler Base or Long Arm Ruler Base. This is not a general-purpose extension table for a desk, and it does not include the frame, machine or quilting rulers.

Made for your setup. Estimated delivery to your doorstep in 4–6 weeks. Your order ships directly from Sew Steady; the 4–6 week delivery estimate includes shipping time.

Custom fit: what we need from you

Enter the complete Machine Make / Brand and Machine Model Number / Name in the fields above. Copy the model from the machine label, including any letters, numbers, and version details. A brand name alone is not enough to identify the correct cutout.

Also provide the quilting frame brand and model and platform details. Both the machine and frame determine compatibility.

Fit notes: Supply both machine and frame details. For a frame with a suitable solid platform, compare the Domestic or Long Arm ruler base.

Questions & planning tips

Questions before you order?

Does Floating Ruler Base rest on the frame platform?
This model is intended for a compatible domestic setup without a platform and secures to the machine using thumb screws and a rear bracket.

Will this fit every machine?
Fit depends on the exact model and the style selected. Review the restrictions above. If you are unsure, email support@threadworks.com with your machine details before ordering.

Is the sewing machine included?
No. Machines, cabinets, frames, fabric, and display props are not included. Included accessories are listed above; other accessories are sold separately.

Can I change my machine information?
Contact ThreadWorks promptly if you notice an error. Because this item is made to order, changes depend on its production stage.

Compare all Sew Steady tables and cabinet inserts to find the workspace that suits the way you sew.

Plan your ruler-work setup

Identify the machine and frame together before selecting a base. Check the platform or attachment requirements listed above. A ruler base supplies working support; it does not replace a machine-compatible ruler foot, appropriate quilting rulers or the machine’s own setup instructions. Those items are not included unless expressly listed.
