The Stripology ruler helps you slice multiple strips really quickly. Stripology Ruler - This baby is a thing of beauty.Treat yourself, and your ruler posse, to some great extras that will really complete your quilting outfit. Rulers, just like crafters, love to accessorize. However, another square ruler I pick up a lot is my 12 ½" square Omnigrid and on my To-Buy list is a 15 ½".
If you already bought the 4-pack listed above, you're set. Does that make sense? Let me give you an example: if your quilt makes an unfinished block that is 6 ½", like the Kris Kross quilt pattern, trimming is much faster and more accurate if you have a 6 ½" square ruler. Block-Sized Square Rulers - I recommend using a square ruler the same size as your unfinished quilt block.This ruler is a leading cast member in a few of my quilt patterns, including: Minimal Triangles, Mosaic and Hexie Stripe. 60° Triangle Ruler - Depending on the quilts you are making, you may never need this or you may use it all the time.
RULERS FOR QUILTING PRO
They make things so much easier, and will up your status from newbie to pro in no time. Thanks for all your wonderful videos and sharing all your tips and techniques.Once you have taken care of the fab four up there, put some serious thought into investing in some specialty block rulers. According to Juki it will fit the following machines: This foot does not hop but has a height adjustment screw. It works beautifully with needle down and the presser foot up and rulers fit under it from every angle.
RULERS FOR QUILTING SERIES
Juki now makes a ruler foot for all the TL series machines although you will really have to search to buy one. I thought I would pass on this news to you for other Juki owning followers. The first foot I used was a custom modified version of the standard Juki quilting foot but I could not have the needle fully down with the presser foot up and rulers didn't fit under it from the back. I have been using rulers to quilt with my Juki for about a year.
I marked straight lines 1 inch apart in order to space these shapes perfectly: Here I’ve used Template #7 from the Dresden Plate Template set to quilt overlaping shells. Once you feel comfortable with straight lines, branch out with other designs. Mark some straight lines on your quilt as a guideline, then try quilting evenly spaced lines 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 inches apart. I do think straight lines are the easiest so give them a go first.
RULERS FOR QUILTING FREE
This will feel just like free motion quilting, but managing the additional ruler on top of the quilt might take awhile to get used to. I also like wearing Machingers Gloves, which I always wear while quilting, but they seem especially handy for gripping both the quilt and the template at the same time.Īfter you get your templates ready to go the next step is just to practice! I’d start with a small block or fat quarter sized practice sandwich. I like using True Grips which help keep the templates in place so they don’t slip as I quilt. The key is keeping the ruler in position on the quilt and next to the ruler foot. This set of templates can cut dozens of Dresden Plates AND can be used for ruler foot quilting – how’s that for multitasking!
