Ruler question for long arm quilters
Where can I find long arm quilting rulers? I want at least a straight ruler and would like a curve one. Can't seem to find any on the internet. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Linda's Electric Quilters - http://www.longarmsupplies.net/templatesandtools.aspx, DeLoa Jones - http://www.deloasquiltshop.com/shop/guides.html, Accents in Design (Fine Line Rulers) - http://accentsindesign.com/fineline.html, HandiQuilter - https://www.handiquilter.com/shop/category/rulers/ - just to name a few. It really helps if you can attend a large quilt show and look at all the rulers there.

I just found this seller. Templates are not fancy, have basic markings, but if you are looking for a set of circles or ovals at a great price this is the place!
I got a set of each an am very pleased.

Quilter's Rule and anywhere there is a HandiQuilter vendor. Also some LQS's have the basics if they sell any mid- or long-arms.
When I first started the vendor with Quilter's Rule suggested I start with just one. He was right. I would have bought more than I needed or would use and they would be collecting dust.

I just saw your other post about quilting with a Bernina 710, You do realize you can't use rulers safely or effectively unless you can put some sort of ruler base on the arm of your machine. I would hate to see you spend the money on LA quilting rulers, which are very expensive, only to find you can't use them safely or effectively.
I did google pics of the Bernina 710 and it does look like an extension table is available for it but can you use it while it is on your rack?
That said all the sites offered above are great sources for rulers.

I order mine directly from my long-arm machine dealer...HandiQuilter has a number of them to choose from, i'm sure Gammil, APQS, NOLTING ect all do too...what long arm do you have? start there. Nancy's Notions catalog has a couple too.
