Method and device for sewing designs

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a device and method for guiding a hopping foot across material in a desired pattern using a manually positionable longarm sewing machine, the device having a rigid guide arm with opposing first and second planar sides, a plurality of notches formed in the edges of the guide arm, and at least one attachment point for mounting on the material. The attachment point can be a circular opening, and an anchor point in the form of a temporary disc affixed to the material is sized and shaped to be slidably received within the circular opening to provide a pivot point for rotation of the guide arm, and the notches are sized and shaped to slidably receive the hopping foot of the longarm sewing machine to guide the hopping foot across the surface of the material.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
