you are so funny QuiltnNan, and there is good advice too! Lots of good advice from there as well. If I were doing it over again, I would start with a smallish straight edge, especially if you are quilting on a domestic as you don’t have as much room to swing your ruler around with the throat space. The Versa Tool Handi Quilter has is a good learning tool with a couple of arcs and straight edges. A little pricey I admit. A 6-10” straight edge with 1/4” etchings/marks is my go to that I use on 99% of my quilts still. Have fun and watch some YouTube videos.
