Rita, when I first used mine it turned on me but I realized that I had not put the fabric grippers on my small ruler. Once I put on the fabric grips it was fine.

What a wonderful idea. I am goin to have to try one as well. Thanks for sharing your idea. I am sure many of us will be happy quilters with that idea. Maybe when I get my Disdability Check at the first of the month I will go to home depit and walmart and see if they are available.
Thanks, Lowell ;)

SewSew, I should have said that the top part rotated. She had the same problem when she used it so she bought one when we were at the Sewing Show in Puyallup. It was because of the lazy susan he used.

Cathy, I am not sure what type of adhesive he used, I will have to check with him when he gets home from work.

Rita, I see what you mean about the turning. I wanted to make sure that it would be stable so I made sure that the board was about the same width as the lazy susan part.

If you are making lots of flying geese it is the best thing to have.
