My hands are tired when free-motion quilting on my stationary machine. HQ Sweet Spots/HQ Paddles – Handi Quilter

The HQ Sweet Spots are perfectly sized (Overall size of each paddle: 3.5″ x 2.5″ x 0.5″) for a quilter's hand. Place them on top of the quilt sandwich, grab the Sweet Spot, and move the quilt for free-motion quilting. Effortless! Works well with domestic or home sewing machines, but were specially designed for the HQ Sweet Sixteen and the HQ Capri stationary (sit-down) longarms. Sold as a pair.

Use HQ Sweet Spots to keep your quilting area flat while using a stationary quilting machine (or your home sewing machine) while doing free-motion quilting.

Guide the quilt sandwich for free-motion quilting by placing the Sweet Spots on either side of the machine needle while applying light downward pressure. The special non-slip material on the base ensures that the fabric moves without the layers shifting.

To maintain the non-slip properties of the base fabric, use sticky tape to remove lint and stray threads.
