sometimes you can look in the tool department and find things almost like what you are looking for. I found some in my husbands tool box.these people who put out the sewing devices have to find the idea somewhere.

1026Mine didn't come with a ruler so I traced and centered my hoops on graph paper and printed out on plastic transparency and then laminated. Had to improvise due to bad weather when I was in need of one. Could probably do something like I did for a cross ruler.

That was the one I was looking for - when I found the other one. You are good!

That is it. SWN emailed me back and she does have it also. It is a bit pricey but it looks like it would be helpful. I'll add it to my Christmas list unless I can find a reason to deserve something sooner.

yes it has a template that goes inside the hoop, but this would be handy also. You know you can't have to many tools, right?

I have looked there and not found it. I emailed SWN and hopefully she'll respond.
20173the link given below is a hem gauge, I never thought of using that to measure placements. What a great tip! I thought you were referring to the T-ruler for squaring off.(which can also be found in a hardware store.

The link below is not what I saw them use. It was plexi glass, and had X & Y axis and fit inside the hoopj.

I've had one of those since Noah was a boy, I never thought to use it for design placement.
I just use a 5 inch rule, 12 inch rule I broke ages ago and kept the pieces. LOL!!!

The set Shirlene recommended looks like it would be good to. I'll see what SWN emails me back with.
