Op琀椀 onal Accessory: Ruler Base
If you plan to use rulers and templates with the Quilt Maker Pro 16, you need to purchase the ruler base to
give you a large, stable surface on which to rest the ruler or template. The ruler base, rulers, and templates
are op琀椀 onal accessories.
To install the op琀椀 onal ruler base
1. The Quilt Maker Pro comes with four
preinstalled mounts for the ruler base.
2. Tilt the ruler base down about 300 and align
the ruler base brackets with the four machine
mounts.
3. Push the ruler base down and back onto the
machine mounts.
To remove the ruler base
• Start by lightly pulling out and then up to
remove the ruler base from the machine
moun琀椀 ng tabs.
To use rulers and templates with your quil琀椀 ng machine
 CAUTION: Use only one-quarter inch thick rulers and templates with your machine. Do not use
rotary-cu琀� ng rulers as they are too thin and can easily slip under the hopping foot. Always use a
ruler base or extended table to stabilize the ruler.
Keep the ruler fl at and quilt only where you are securely holding the ruler. Avoid losing control by walking
your hand along the ruler or stopping and reposi琀椀 oning your hand and the ruler.
• Apply gentle three-point pressure to the
ruler, as follows.
1. Press the ruler against any side of the
hopping foot.
2. Press machine against ruler.
3. Press ruler against ruler base with only
as much pressure as is necessary to
keep the ruler from slipping. Too much
pressure will keep the machine from
moving.
