In this video, I put the relatively unknown Gammill Channel Lock Hack to the test to see if it's a game-changer for machine quilters. As a longarm quilter, I'm always on the lookout for innovative techniques and hacks that can improve my workflow and enhance the quality of my quilts. The Gammill Channel Lock is a valuable tool for creating precise and consistent stitches, but can this hack replace expensive channel lock add-on? I'll share my experience and results, highlighting the benefits and drawbacks of this technique. Whether you're a seasoned quilter or just starting out, you'll want to learn about this hack and how it can elevate your machine quilting skills. From using machine quilting rulers and templates to mastering gammill techniques, I'll cover it all. So, let's dive in and see if this hack is worth the hype!
Learn how to:
* Use a ruler foot with circle guides to create scallops
* Use a stacked Feather as a free motion fill design
* Use a one inch guide to mark a quilt so you can
