The Clarity Ruler Foot for Home Sewing Machines
If you read my blog, then you know that I love doing ruler work as a sit-down quilter! It has totally rocked my quilting world and I have tons of new-found enthusiasm for free motion quilting since ruler work has opened many new design challenges. The one thing about ruler work that frustrates me is the high collar that helps so much to keep ruler work safe also presents a big obstacle to good visibility. I want to be able to do ruler work safely AND be able to clearly see where I am going. Now. I. Can.
The Clarity Ruler foot is made of clear acrylic, so I can literally see right through it as I work. TOTAL GAME CHANGER!!! On top of that, you can purchase JUST THE FOOT, meaning you don’t have to pay extra to purchase a package deal that includes other items you may not want or need. Depending on the size shank you need, the cost of the foot is only $24-$30, which seems like an incredible deal to me. Here’s a shot of it mounted to my sewing machine:
As you can see, I was using it to do free motion “fill-in” work after my ruler work framework was completed. In other words, I didn’t have to swap out to a regular free motion foot for my fill in work! Another nice feature is that it comes with a small washer and this washer prevents the foot from vibrating loose while quilting. Two big pluses from one little foot! If you want to know more about it, here’s a short video we made about the Clarity foot:
