You learn something new everyday! I never heard of quilting rings before, and actually thought when I saw this thread that it had everything to do with longarming. I've been quilting with rulers, but have wanted to do some FMQ and when I took the time to read this thread, the thought of using the rings really struck me. I put an order in for the Martelli rings and the Gypsy rings. I thought about just getting one, but liked the idea of the different shapes and sizes.
I have a question about the Martelli Rings... For those of you who did a cut out on the low part of the ring, is the ring solid or hollow? I'm thinking about having DH do that to mine when they come, but not sure I want to if the ring is hollow.
