Introducing -- The Trailer: Machine Quilting Ruler

Quickly after developing my first machine quilting ruler and using it a lot, especially in classes I came up with a few more ideas that I really wanted to use and incorporate into a second machine quilting ruler. 

Over the last year, since developing the 4-N-1 Machine Quilting Ruler I've had several people tell me that the ruler looks like a VW Beetle, and some of you might know, I've owned a few of those cars and love them. After I came up with the concept for this new ruler and sent a photo of it to my mom, she quickly responded and said, you should call it The Trailer, it looks like a trailer and is the perfect follow up to the 4-N-1 Machine Quilting Ruler. So, that's where the name came from.

How to: Machine Quilt an Orange Peel Quilt Block

Happy Thursday! YAY! it's time for another fun machine quilting video tutorial. The video tutorial I'm sharing today is a classic. Who doesn't love an orange peel?

Make sure to watch the complete video, I really debated weather to share this video or not, I want to be true and honest, decided in the spirit of that I'd share the video. I'm not always perfect, nor is my quilting. I think that we often only see the best of the best online, so I thought it'd be nice to see that sometimes my quilting is less than perfect.....

How to: Machine Quilt a Pointed Oval Border - Featuring the 4-N-1 Machine Quilting Ruler

I'm a day late! I was planning to have this tutorial up yesterday. But, somehow time slipped by way faster than I had expected and I'm a day late getting this to you. 

This fun border is a great simple pattern for any border, however I think it's best in a smaller type border. The border that I've quilted the design on in the video is about 3".

How to: Machine Quilt a Checker Background

I love this checker background design. It's actually a pretty simple design to machine quilt so I thought you'd probably enjoy a fun little video tutorial.

Introducing The 4-N-1 Machine Quilting Ruler

I am so excited today to introduce you to my most recent creation, the 4-N-1 Machine Quilting Ruler. If you've been following along over the last few years I'm sure you've noticed that I've really fallen in love with machine quilting rulers. I actually use them in every single quilt that I custom machine quilt. Whether it's basic straight lines, or stitch in the ditch, to more complex curves I'm in love with machine quilting with rulers.
