Ruler Work
 

I took the first Patsy Thompson ruler work class that started today [ https://blog.patsythompsondesigns.co.../archives/8334 ]
It's easier than I expected as it is my first try. My quilt sandwich batting is a little too puffy, but I already had it put together.

oh very good!!!

Excellent work! I have the tools but need the bravery!

great work...

Very nice! I have many of the rulers and have used some. Looks like you're going to really enjoy them.

You're good!

Nice work:thumbup: Aren't the rulers so much fun!?! I just love using them:)

Nice easy free motion design

I just read her tutorial, and I think it's very well written. I've got it saved for future reference.

Very good, I haven't tried that yet.

Great job! Love ruler work on quilts. Haven't tried yet but on my bucket list...

Super. BrendaK

Wow thats great, may have to try that.

Good job! Patsy is such a great teacher.

Watson

I have a few of her things. Think she is great.

Nice...I love the puffy look!

Looks really good. What kind of ruler did you use?

I have the westalee rulers

My LQS has a class on using rulers called Ruler of the Month, it is using Westalee ruler starter set and we work with a different ruler every month and then explore different specialty rulers. Really enjoy it and learning so much of what rulers can do. They also had Kelly Kline give a class on Vintage quilting using her rulers with a domestic machine. Thank you for providing the link to this ruler class.

You did a great job with the ruler quilting.

Awesome job Nan. I am hoping to play with the rulers from her class tomorrow as we are expecting a Nor Easter.

I took it too. Wasn't it fun?? I can't wait for the rest of them.

Stay safe. I heard you are supposed to get a big one.

Great job Nan. I'm hoping to do it too, but you have certainly given me encouragement.

Good job! I love combining ruler work with freehand Fmq!

Thanks. I have tried the beginners straight and curved, but have a hard time holding it secure. After seeing yours I think I'll give it another try.

I'll be doing that same design in one area today. I practiced yesterday and like the outcome.

I have a few rulers also, but do not have the special foot used for ruler work. Dislike purchasing a foot if I do not like working with rulers. Should I take a class at the LQS before investing. I think the foot is about $75.

Like what you have learned so far. Thanks for showing us.

Advice please. Thanks.

are you using the gripper strips that come with the beginner set? i used a piece about 1/2-3/4" long about 1/3 the way in from each end because that's where i tend to hold it

i honestly don't know how you would do it without the foot

Great job on the ruler work!

I have the BSR and other darning feet, however the ruler foot seems to be much thicker and should glide along side the rule. Just questioning if I should invest in the foot or atleast try it at the LQS or take the ruler use class.

Good job!! You did great for a first try.

Good start! Let us know how you progress.
