Appropriate level: Beginner
This hands-on class will teach you the basics of ruler-guided free motion quilting using your home sewing machine. We will cover straight line ruler work and curved ruler work, as well as some free motion quilting designs to “fill-in” the framework we create with our ruler work. We will also learn how to audition your ruler work designs on paper before taking them to fabric. This class will give you the skills to create block and border designs using ruler work. “I will loan you rulers to use during class so you do not need to spend a lot of money to ‘try out’ the technique of ruler work!” Patsy will supply everyone w/a set of rulers (1 straight line ruler and 3 arc rulers) to use during class. The ruler-base courses will require the purchase of a ruler foot. You must have a true ruler foot for your machine to participate in this class. If your machine manufacturer does not yet offer a ruler foot, please seek the assistance of your dealer ahead of class so a foot can be ordered for you. Your machine must be capable of free-motion quilting. You must have an extension table for your sewing machine. You do NOT need to have free-motion quilting experience to take the beginning ruler work class.
This class is designed for the quilter who knows the basics of ruler work on a home sewing machine and is ready to explore more challenging designs using ruler work. This class will focus on ruler work border designs created with basic arc rulers. We will learn how to create a variety of ruler-based border framework designs and then we will fill them in with free motion quilted designs. This class will bolster your ruler work skills, your free motion quilting skills, and your design skills.
