Method and device for sewing designs

摘要

The present disclosure is directed to a device and method for guiding a hopping foot across material in a desired pattern using a manually positionable longarm sewing machine, the device having a rigid guide arm with opposing first and second planar sides, a plurality of notches formed in the edges of the guide arm, and at least one attachment point for mounting on the material. The attachment point can be a circular opening, and an anchor point in the form of a temporary disc affixed to the material is sized and shaped to be slidably received within the circular opening to provide a pivot point for rotation of the guide arm, and the notches are sized and shaped to slidably receive the hopping foot of the longarm sewing machine to guide the hopping foot across the surface of the material.

主权项

1. An assembly for guiding a line of stitching across the surface of material in a desired pattern using a sewing or quilting machine, the assembly comprising:
a rigid guide arm having opposing first and second sides, one of which comprises a planar working surface structured to bear against the surface of the material, the guide arm having an elongate configuration with opposing edges, the guide arm including: a plurality of notches formed in at least one edge of the opposing edges, at least one of the notches structured to engage a ruler foot on the sewing machine; and at least one attachment point on the guide arm; a stabilizing pin; and an anchor member structured to be releasably coupled to the material and to be releasably coupled to the guide arm at the attachment point to provide a pivot point for the guide arm to rotate about the anchor member, the anchor member including a prong extending therefrom, the prong having a notch sized and shaped to receive the stabilizing pin and lock the prong and the anchor member in place on the material.
