DawnCavanaugh Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 In the wake of a busy spring show season, many quilters have new gadgets and templates to explore: Quilt Talk: Ruling the World Learn how to use them accurately and safely, plus discover a secret about your Millennium, Freedom SR or Liberty that could speed up your ruler work immensely! As always, let me know about topics you'd like me to address. Happy Quilting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Dawn, you out-did yourself again. This article is excellent. Thanks for all of the MANY great tips! And, I agree with you that Hint #5 is the best one of all. I use this all the time with my ruler... (if I recall correctly, Debbi Treusch provided this tip on the chat about a year ago??) I have been using it ever since. Thanks Dawn. Thanks Deb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankiequilter Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Great article, and just when I need it! I put a cheater panel on this afternoon to use for ppp, put the extended base on and got out my new Itty Bitty ruler to try for the first time. It is a great little ruler, as many on the forum have said. Dawn's Hint #5 is a real help. I don't think I made it to Exercise 11 when I got my Millie because I didn't know about this one :P Thanks, Dawn, for a great article and for the help that you provide to us.

Quilting Heidi Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Dawn I too think this is a great article! I always use #5 and it is really saves so much time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Excellent article!!! I did know about #5 and I'm sure it was on this forum where I picked up that tip. I usually try to stop the motor with the needle in the down position so things don't shift around when I'm adjusting my ruler. Thanks, Dawn!!!

DoryJM Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I had forgotten all about Hint #5...probably because when I learned of it was at Darlene Epp's beginner class. I was already so overloaded, I don't think anything else would have fit in my pea brain:D Thanks for the reminder; now I want to try it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Dawn thank you, thank you. I learned so much today. now maybe I won't have wonky lines when I use my ruler and now I know why I see my stitching when I put my ruler on the wrong side.

jmcclannan Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Great article. I had heard #5 before but I am in such a habit of hitting the blue button without the command button, I have to retrain myself now that you have reminded me of this. You make everything so clear in your writing. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnCavanaugh Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Glad to help, everyone! Remember, if you suggest topics for the QuiltTalk articles, I can do them more often; sometimes it's hard to think of things to write about (I know, it's also hard to imagine me with nothing to say!
