Viking Foot Free Motion Ruler (8)

The perfectly circular shape allows you to sew a constant ¼” away from the edges of your ruler template.  Red markings on the foot indicate the center of the foot, making it easy to line the foot and the ruler up when sewing.  Cutouts in the front and side of the foot make it easier to see right up to the needle.
Loosen the presser foot ankle screw completely and remove the ankle.  Place the Free Motion Ruler Foot around the presser bar; attach it with the screw.
Thread your machine
Select a straight stitch
Set your machine to Free Motion Ruler Foot mode.  The feed dogs will drop automatically.  Note: When the feed dogs are dropped, the fabric is no longer fed by the machine.  You must move the fabric. 
 Place the fabric under the foot and lower the foot.
Bring the bobbin thread to the top by taking one stitch.  Hold onto both threads and sew a few stitches in place to begin. 
Slide the edge of the ruler up to the foot. Place enough pressure on the ruler with your fingertips to gently glide the foot along the edge without the ruler moving. 
Sew along the edge of the ruler.  When near the end, stop the machine, lift the presser foot and slide the ruler into position to continue stitching the design.  
When changing positions, stop the machine, and simply reposition the ruler and stitch in the direction needed to follow the ruler. 

To adequately prepare for classes and events, we ask that you please register at least 2 weeks prior to the start date.  Your space in class will not be held withhout payment.  Each class has a minimum, and maximum, number of students and may fill, or be cancelled, prior to your payment.

If a
minimum number of students is not met, you will be notified, and your class fees refunded, at least 1 week prior to the class start date.  If you need to cancel cancel, please call the store at least 1 week prior to class for a full refund. No refunds of class or kit fees will be issued for cancellations under 1 week before the class start date. No shows will forfeit class and kit fees.


Upon registration you will be emailed a list of supplies needed for the class. All supplies should be purchased prior to class. Classes typically do not include time to purchase supplies. Unless otherwise noted, all supplies are available at Sew What! Inc.  Students will receive a 10% discount on all supplies listed.

We are diligent about enforcing copyright laws; if a book, pattern or embroidery design is required for a class, each student must purchase their own copy. There are no exceptions.

Students should bring their sewing machine with all of the appropriate parts (including the instruction manual, foot control and power cord). Students must be familiar with the basic operation (i.e. winding a bobbin and threading the machine) of their machine for creative classes, and the machine must be in good working condition. Alternatively, a student may pre-register to rent a sewing machine (when avail;able) for creative classes at a rental rate of $15 per class session.  Students who experiences great difficulty with their sewing machine during class may need to rent a machine.

Please be considerate of others. Do not bring children to class, wear heavy perfume or use cell phones during class. Please be prepared to start class on time.  Our doors typically open 30 minutes prior to your class start time to allow you to set up your sewing space. Classes begin and end promptly at the scheduled time.
