Broken quilting foot

I needed to get this quilted by a certain date. Yes, my work colleague was finishing up and this needed to be done. I'm ready to sew.... OH NO!!!!!!
My free motion foot was broken. 
WHAT AM I TO DO?????

I was a bit annoyed and wasn't sure what to do but then I remembered I had a westalee ruler quilting foot.
It doesn't go up and down like the free motion foot but it worked perfect. Actually my tension was better with this foot. So I was done quilting in no time.




It still isn't completely square but it will be ok.

The quilting is all done.


Now I just have to do the binding.

Now I'm on thing for a new foot.
Money, money, money.

Love the quilt. I think I need to buy a new walking foot, I think its bent. It tends to catch.

A beautiful quilt and I love the colours. My quilting foot needs a good dose of oil, it is squeaking.

Sew glad you were able to pull out that ruler foot and get your quilt done on time!

Glad you had a work-around so you could get it done. Your round meandering looks perfect for this very sweet quilt.

Oh, no! Glad the ruler foot worked. The quilt is lovely and I'm sure she'll love it. Great colors.
