I am wanting to invest in more rulers and as pricey as they are I want my investment decisions to be wise ones. So any input from other quilters will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Yes, the "Cable Tool" Template, ruler is Nancy Johnson, and I purchased it from Quilters Rule. That is what I did the Cable Border with. It is a little hard to get use to, but just going slow and being very careful is what worked for me. This was the first time I used it, so still have a lot to learn.
The Swags are done with the 8" Swag Templates from Constantine Quilts. I purchased them from Kings Men Quilting Supply here: http://www.kmquiltingsupply.com/Parts/NoFrills.asp
Just scroll down to find them. There are several videos also there from Constantines to help with how to use them. I love these swag templates. I did have my DH cut them into because they were so long and hard to do the sides of the quilt without turning the quilt, which I am not fond of. I have the HQ Avante, and 18" is all I have and these are 16" long.
Hope this helps, thanks for asking,
