Show Me Quilting With Rulers
 

I've heard a lot about it in some other posts, but have not seen any photographs. Do you have a picture or two so I can see what everyone is talking about? Is there a certain procedure to accomplish the quilting?

This could help you understand. http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/how-to...uilting-rulers

Are you quilting with a Longarm or with a regular sewing machine?

A video for a regular sewing machine. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q...5F2F&FORM=VIRE

If you Google, Quilting with rulers, you will get a lot of websites with information.

I've been watching Youtube videos because I'm interested as well. I also am watching an Angela Walters class on Craftsy.

Oh, I am not doing it. I just wanted to see the work of some of the people here.

Many have referenced using rulers when showing photos of both LA and DSM work.

FelineFanatic and Watson are two whom I know have shown ruler work photos.
Lots of others too.

Sorry, I can't give you any specific threads to go to right now.
Maybe just do some surfing ... or watch the future threads.

This was one of my first efforts on a quilt last year. One of best features I think is being able to do straight line quilting FMQ. I outlined my star without having to turn the quilt and then used my circle to do a design in the center. It isn't perfect but I am getting better with practice.[ATTACH=CONFIG]591631[/ATTACH]

I did some ruler work on my " almost forgotten christmas quilt" that is in the pictures section.
I can't do anything in a straight line without a ruler, so all the straight lines in the borders were with rulers. I also used a wave ruler for the double line in the red borders and then used the wave ruler in the outer blue border as a base for some leaves and berrries that I free motioned.
I have some big circle and arc rulers that I use a lot as well. Those kind of shapes are hard to do evenly free hand.

Where have I been for the last 25 years? I have never heard of ruler quilting before, and boy could I have used it on my nemesis quilt instead of those dreadful blue penciled lines. I checked my machine and I can't do it with the foot that I have now but I'm on the lookout for a ruler foot that will fit my machine. Thanks for maybe teaching this old dog a new trick.

Here is a link to the ruler foot & template package from Nancy's Notions http://www.nancysnotions.com/product...emplate+set.do
It's a little pricey but so worth it.

Visit patsy Thompsons blog on her site she just had a quilt along with rulers with lots of pictures
