Introducing Square Feet, the perfect accessory for achieving straight seams and precise piecing on your quilting frame. Designed with quilters in mind, these innovative feet provide consistent seam allowances of 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch, ensuring professional-quality results for all your quilting projects.
The 1/4-inch Square Foot is ideal for working with cotton fabrics, offering the precision needed for fine, delicate quilting tasks. Its narrow profile allows for close, accurate stitching, making it the go-to choice for standard quilting fabrics. Whether you're piecing together intricate quilt blocks or working on detailed appliqué, the 1/4-inch Square Foot provides the control and accuracy you need to create beautiful, uniform seams.
For projects involving cuddle-type fabric and high loft batting, the 1/2-inch Square Foot is your best companion. This foot is specifically designed to handle thicker materials, providing the extra guidance and stability required for these more challenging fabrics. Its wider seam allowance helps manage the bulk, ensuring that your seams are consistent and your fabric flows smoothly through the machine. Perfect for creating cozy quilts, plush blankets, and other high-loft fabric projects, the 1/2-inch Square Foot makes working with these materials easier and more enjoyable.
Square Feet are compatible with all HQ machines equipped with the Interchangeable Foot Mount, offering versatility and ease of use across your quilting toolkit. However, it is important to note that all optional Handi Quilter feet for HQ longarms require your machine to have the Interchangeable Foot Mount. For HQ machines manufactured before November 2014, you may need the Handi Feet Conversion Kit installed to ensure compatibility with these optional feet. This conversion kit is an easy and effective way to upgrade your machine, allowing you to take full advantage of the wide range of Handi Quilter accessories available.
Designed for seamless integration and easy installation, Square Feet enhance your quilting experience by providing reliable, consistent seam allowances. Their robust construction ensures durability and longevity, making them a valuable addition to your quilting arsenal. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a passionate beginner, Square Feet help you achieve precise, straight seams that elevate the quality and finish of your projects.
In summary, Square Feet are essential tools for any quilter looking to improve their piecing accuracy and achieve straight, consistent seams. With options for both 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch seam allowances, these feet are versatile enough to handle a wide range of fabrics and quilting styles. Compatible with all HQ machines with the Interchangeable Foot Mount, Square Feet are easy to install and use, providing the precision and control needed to create beautiful, professional-quality quilts.
