Review of Westalee Rulers Course

Wonderful review Watson...it sounds like you learned a lot through the extensive seven week course. I have the rulers but would really benefit from a class, especially with a good instructor. Don’t forget to post your QAYG when finished.

I bought the starter set which came with the spacer. Didn't know there was a book. I've played with them a little watching YouTube videos, but haven't had time to really work at it. I'm hoping there are some classes coming up in the Dallas area. Thanks for your excellent review.

I too want to thank you for your great review, photos, and links. I have spoken to Bill West of Westalee and am just about ready to buy and try the rulers and foot. I just need to decide which machine I want to work on as that will tell me which foot to buy. Your blocks really did turn out well especially for a first timer. Again, thank you for taking the time to post all of the information and your thoughts.

Thimblebug6000, I am using a Singer S18, which is the same as a Janome 6500. It is a low shank machine. Regardless of what machine you use, any Westalee dealer will tell you which foot to buy.
I want to thank everyone for their kind words.

Thanks for the review. I bought the starter kit but haven't taken any lessons. I quilted a baby quilt trying out the different designs. I was surprised at how easy the rulers were to use and how many different designs I could make. I don't have the spacing or marking ruler.

The best use it found for the spacer gauge was when doing long straight lines. You put the 1/4 spacer at the far end of the ruler and you know your line will be in the right spot all the way along
