Optional Accessories
Steady-Fit Ruler Base™
If you plan to use rulers and templates with the Amara, you will need to purchase the ruler base to give you
a large, stable surface on which to rest the ruler or template. The ruler base and rulers and templates are
optional accessories. For more information, visit http://www.handiquilter.com.
To install the ruler base
ONLINE: For more information about installing the ruler base and using rulers, watch the video
Ruler Base Installation at: http://www.HandiQuilter.com/Amara/rulerbase.
1. The Amara machine comes with four
preinstalled mounts for the ruler base.
2. With the Steady-Fit Ruler Base™ tilted down
about 30°, align the back ruler-base hooks with
the machine mounts until they are about to
catch, then lower the front of the ruler base
until the front hooks align and catch also. With
all four ruler-base hooks aligned and started
onto the machine mounts, push the ruler base
back into the final position.
To remove the ruler base
• Grasp the front corners of the ruler base, pull
the ruler base towards you and then up on an angle
off the machine.
