I did not use a stabilizer, nor a hoop. Just be cognizant of the tension of your stitches.

Ding Thing
Saw a tool at a LQS that held the ruler down and kept your hand out of the way but it was pricey It looked like two suction cups on the ends of a flattened out "u" shaped handle. Dh and his friends said it is a "ding thing" that you can get cheaper at an automotive parts store. Also it is sometimes called a glass carrier because glass cutters use a similar tool to that for carrying glass sheets a short distance.
Searched through about five auto parts places and all I could get was a single suction cup which had a diameter of appr. 5 inches for about $4.00 they had a double handled one but it came in a kit with a glue gun and glue and someother things I didn't need and that was about $20.00 if someone had use for the other stuff it would still be a good deal because the LQS one was nearly $25.00. I just didn't need to clutter up the tool shed with unnecessary stuff.
Any way I bought the single one and love it. My hand is out of the way of the cutter (would be great for teaching kids to cut--- maybe will let dgd do some cutting this year if she will use it with the ruler) and the ruler seems to be steadier and I have problems with wobbly rulers.
any way for four dollars how could I lose and the next time I put a dent in the car I can fix it myself. LOL ROFLOL AnnTags: None

i did not see any thing like that at the auto parts store but i did find these handy telescoping magnets at my local autozone. they are the size of a ballpoint pen and have a strong magnet at the end i thought they would be great for picking up stray pins that fall in to the crevices of my couch or even on the floor. i bought 2 one for upstairs and one for down in the sewing room.Happy Quilting,

Ann, you can get the same thing (different color from Gypsy Gripper) at Linens N Things or Bed, Bath & Beyond, for about $10. They are shower handles, the color is blue and white. Exactly the same as the Gypsy thing. I've been using one for more than six months and I love it. It keeps the ruler from slipping, no slips since I started. I like it so much that everyone in my quilt class wanted them so I bought 25 of them. They are all happy with them!

Thanks for the info! I'll be checking in to it. My husband has the telescoping magnet - and we have used it several times! :lol: He hates stray pins and needles. Must be some experience from his childhood... and if there are any lying around, he's the one who will step on it!Happy Quilting,

Ann, I also use my "ding thing" (I got a cheap one from "Create for Less) for carrying around my plexiglass extension table for my sewing machine. It's the big one and I always schlepped it around in the box until I saw one of those and had a "light-bulb" moment!
Thanks for bringing this subject up!

I went to the tool store with DH a few days ago and saw a magnetic dish with a telescoping magnet and a telescoping little mirror. The dish is just what I needed for the sewing machine. It has a weighted bottom and will stay anywhere on the machine. The telescoping magnet is great to pick up pins from the floor. I don't know what the mirror is good for yet. Oh, well, the whole set was less than $5. I wouldn't have thought of it unless you gals had mentioned it. Thank you very much!! All the help around here is wonderful :lol: 8)Carolyn

Carolyn,
What kind of sewing machine do you have? If you have a computerized one, it would not be a good idea to put the magnetic dish on it. It could screw up the computer stuff. I put mine next to it but never on it. I learned my lesson when I was moving stuff around in my sewing room and put it on top of the tv and the whole corner of the picture turned colors. My DD just rolled her eyes at me and took it off.
