Dritz Longarm 3712 Zero Center Tape Measure, 3/4 x 144-Inch , White

Nice and big, like the 0 in the middle can keep my quilt equal on both sides of my longarm.

Also a great gift for friends who are Longarm Quilters

I finally got a squared up quilt easily by using this ruler.It has a 0" in the middle and I attached the ruler to my long-arm quilter dead bar with the 0" in the center and out to both sides from the center, ending at 72" on both sides of my 12' frame. The dead bar doesn't move during quilting and keeps the ruler easy to see at a glance.I attached the ruler with self adhesive hook and loop tape.And I'm glad to say the ruler is rigid enough that it did not stretch, and came out absolutely accurately on both ends.Then I centered the back and batting and finally the 44"quilt top on the 0 and smoothed out the top edge until each side reached the 22" mark. Then I basted the top edge and came down each side along the 22" mark. I had to use channel locks to keep the sides straight. But this ruler made it so easy to refrence the 22" and keep everything straight without having to guess and then square up a crooked quilt at the end.

I use this on my longarm to keep my quilt straight on the frame for accurate quilting. It is an essential notion for longarm quilting.

I purchased three of these in hopes I could sew them to my longarm leaders. Another reviewer had suggested that was their intent and that they expected it would work.The first time I tried, the stitches were too short and effectively cut the tape measure in half. One in the trash. The second time I used a long basting stitch, but realized that the leader fabric had huge give /stretch compared to the tape measure which had none. As soon as I realized this would not work, I stopped sewing. I ended up using double sided tape (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GVB3RPB?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1) to attach the tape to the dead bar / stationary bar below my take up roller.My poles are only 10 feet, so I trimmed the excess from each end.I have one left but obviously I will not try sewing through it or attaching it to my leaders.

This works well for my long arm quilting machine. I like it and it is cheaper than other tapes.

These are handy for attaching to a longarm. Makes center easy to see at a glance and easy to make sure your quilt stays square.

As advertised. Arrived on time. Easy to use.

Looks like exactly what I need

Really greatWorks well

As description

Just what you need for finding that middle spot and making sure that everything lines up. It's a good quality tape, not cheaply made. Hasn't stretched despite the few times I've tried to wrap it up and pulled while accidentally stepping on it.

So much easier to work out measurements when the centre is 0 and equal measurements go from left to right
