Adhesive rulers — the rulers that stick to the top part of the hoop are a GREAT help while quilting. Here are links to resources on the DIME site that can help.
- Design and instructions for centering rulers — Eileen from DIME has a clever way to center rulers on your hoop. You stitch an embroidery file, then use the stitching to center the rulers.

- Order new rulers — people often throw away the adhesive rulers before they understand what they are. If you did that, your local store can get you a new set. If you don’t have a local store, you can use this link to order a new set from DIME.
