  Ruler Work Quilting with Beth Heal 

  Find out all you need to know to get started with ruler work quilting on your home sewing machine! This class is a basic introduction to using rulers to create precise and intricate quilting designs. This will be a slow relaxed class to ensure everyone can master the basics. 

  Materials Needed: 

  • Westalee Ruler Foot the correct size for your machine.  Please let me know if you need help determining the correct size for your machine.*
  • Westalee 12” arc ruler, and stable tape.  There are many guild members who have this ruler and may be willing to loan it for this class.  You may also purchase it through Amazon.  (Sew Steady 12” Arc Ruler)*
  • An air or water erasable marker
  • Thread, scissors and your favorite sewing tools
  • Quilter’s gloves are recommended
  • A table type support that fits around your sewing machine bed that will support your rulers is highly recommended.
  • 1 yard of muslin or any SOLID color quilting cotton plus quilt batting.  We will make multiple quilt sandwiches for practice and a small pillow top.
  • Optional: Sew Steady Spacing Gauge optional but very helpful in aligning designs
  • Optional:  A Cross Hair square ruler (12.5”) is highly recommended for setting up designs
  • Optional:  A Supreme Slider or similar item to make your fabric slide easily on the machine bed

  *NOTE:   The Westalee Design/Sew Steady Ruler Foot Starter Kit contains both items listed above: the ruler foot and the 12” Arc Ruler.  Be SURE you order the correct foot for your machine which will be either a high shank or a low shank foot.  Again, let me know if you need help determining which one you need. 

  Additional note – There are very cheap ruler foot options on Amazon but they are plastic and will break before you even get started.  The Westalee ruler foot is steel and will serve you well for ruler quilting as well as free motion quilting. 

  Class participants are expected to have a ruler foot and to have researched whether their machines are high or low shank. Sewing machine dealers should know whether or not your machine is high or low shank, a google search can also help with this. 

  If you have any questions, please contact Beth H.
