Zora Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 What is the best ruler to use for continuous curves? I just can't get the hang of them free-hand, and so many quilts just really need them. I have an "itty-bitty" which is great for the blocks that it fits, but it doesn't fit many. Is there another gadget that is more versatile? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarieBrewer Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I bought the set of CC rulers from Kings Men. They weren't too terribly expensive either. Maybe $25 for 1 1/2, 2, 3, and 4 inches. They take more time than free hand but they are more consistent. I like them a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltlover03 Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I have bought them, the whole set comes to $40.00 Australian Dollars, around $44.00 US plus around $18.00 shipping.. That isn't so bad, I am used to paying big dollars for tools as I everything I buy is imported from the USA, and I really pay for shipping believe me. Constantine Quilts only charges actual cost, not a preset rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchamberlain1 Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I have the set from Constantine. You can do many different sizes, although the curve is quite shallow. I also use the Triple Play which gives a deeper curve (2", 3", 4") and the Accu-Guide. I use the accu-guide all the time for CC and to go around applique.

tchamberlain1 Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Here's a picture of the Triple Play. Both the accu-guide and Triple Play are available from Lakeside Quilt Company - http://www.lovetoquilt.com/longarm_quilting_tools/quilting_rulers_and_guides_and_templates_.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
