I checked out the site and while it isn't as bad as many others, it did set my Ublock Origin off a bit.
When I was looking for site reviews I didn't find any but I did find this comment on one of the products:

These are not genuine product. Copies of stolen copyrighted product from Westalee Design. Also stolen videos shown. What you see on the video is not what you get! Don't waste your money with these people. It's called theft!

Things to look at when buying rulers for doing ruler work is whether or not they are the correct thickness for your machine and whether or not they have enough markings to enable you to use them without having to do extensive marking. I really like the Westalee rulers because of their extensive markings and also the ones that Handiquilter makes for the same reason. I also tend to use the same few rulers most of the time- a short straight ruler with lots of markings, a gentle curve with lots of markings for lining it up, a couple of curved rulers that are based on circles not ovals, and the Westalee Circles on Quilts rulers (perfect circles every time). I've got others that do specific designs and they're fun to use on occasion, but I find that I having the straight, gentle curve, circle curves and circles on quilts give me lots of versatility in terms of quilting designs.

I have never used them and I don't know anything about the copyright. But they sell FM quilting guides(not entirely sure if it's the same thing) on AliExpress.com and that is a reputable site. I have bought loads of things from there, FQ, rulers, bindingclips, rotary cutting blades etc

No, they are knock offs of Westalee rulers for home domestic machines. They are just 1/8" thick, but they work well with ruler foot on low shank or higher shank machines. They are selling them off of Amazon. They come from Japan I believe, and take a while to get here. I have the original 6 piece set, and was going to order the circular for making Baptist Fan design. I ordered mine off Amazon.

Thanks everyone, everything that has been said I had worried about. I'd seen the reviews and we all know how easy it is to get 'good reviews' and I could see that the product wasn't badged. I guess I was looking for a miracle and someone had used them and could say that they were good.
So, I'm just waiting for the taxi, to take me to the station, to get the train, to take me to .. Birmingham .. The Festival of Quilts. Some cash will be spent!!

These look like a set I bought from Amazon and they weren't thick enough for a long arm, they slide right under the presser foot. The description doesn't seem to tell how thick they are. I can't find it.

I kept seeing ad on Facebook for quilting supplies at a very reasonable price, so naturally I ordered them. My Credit Union blocked the sale and notified me that the site was on their "Suspicious fraud list". You can't be too careful. Thanking my Credit Union for protecting my account!

If you have a high shank machine and can use 1/4" thick rulers, you should check out this womans site. http://terylloy.com/1-4-templates-by-tle/
They are very reasonable and well made. She has many video's showing how they are used. Her slotted straight edge ruler is only $12.95, her circles are very reasonable, as are her arc rulers.
