Ruler Round up

Articles

Written by Suzanne Earley

Well, we've done a list of quilting machine manufacturers and one of longarm quilting videos. I thought it was time for a new list, and after reading some discussions in the forums the other day about ruler work, I decided a round up of all of the designers of rulers that I could think of was in order.

This list is most assuredly not complete (in fact, I kept thinking I was done, and would then think of another designer to add...). I've included links at the beginning to two longarm quilting suppliers that carry many of the rulers, but I've also given you links to all of the designers themselves. If you know of additions that I should make, or corrections, (or if you see any typos...) please respond in the forum post that I'll create for comments, or send me an e-mail! I'll add (or correct) as needed!

I will also say that this list is in no particular order -- nor is it an endorsement of any of these designers or their rulers. This is purely a list for your reference.

The "P" word

Our world is full of people wanting shortcuts. We want to have everything and we don't want to wait -- we want what we want and we want it right now. The situation with the US financial system is certainly indicative of that...but I'm not here to talk about such an unpleasant topic!!

As quilters we are no different -- we want to produce beautiful quilting and we want to do it yesterday. Now, I'll grant you that there are some prodigies in the machine quilting world, but those prodigies are pretty few and far between. The rest of us have to work at our craft, and what may look effortless is actually the result of many long years of hard work.

Practice might be spelled with 8 letters, but I'm sure many people consider it a "4-letter" word -- one that you'd rather not hear in your house and try to use as little as possible. I'm here to tell you, though, that this particular "P" word and several of its friends are not as horrible as you might think, and I'd like to give you some tips and ideas about how to effectively practice.
