GrandmaLKB Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 What Cross Hatching tools do you all like best - other than the QZ or Circle Lord. I've been looking at Linda R's and also the ones on Quilter's rule by Westalee. Any others out there that are easy to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindasewsit Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I have Linda R's CH rulers and I absolutely love them!! I did this quilt with them. http://www.apqs.com/quiltboard/viewthread.php?tid=20443&page=1#pid245914 The CH rulers made it easy! No marking! Now it did take a while to do it! But it wasn't hard with those rulers! I would highly recomend them!! linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I have the qz crosshatch boards...and still use Linda Rech's (Dennis') rulers more of the time! They are fabulous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primitive1 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I too use Linda Reich's rulers and by the way Linda Gibbons, your quilt is just stunning too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newellyn Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I have CL straight and curved crosshatch templates, Linda Rech's rulers and the Westerlee (SP?) system that Quilter's Rule carries. Linda's are the best, in my opinion. I like the CL but not having to work from the back of the machine and haven't justified the cost of the new front working system. Plus the fact that I have removed the top rail makes using it impractical for me. I don't care for the Westerlee at all. It is very difficult to keep it steady. Linda's sets are very easy to use and remain very stable while working with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankiequilter Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I have a set of Linda Rech's crosshatch rules and they work great. And I've seen the Westalee ruler and thought it would be difficult to control and hold steady. I have acquired the Circle Lord and now have no need for the crosshatch rulers so if anyone is interessted in buying them I would sell them for $50 plus actual shipping cost. If interested, send a U2U. Edited to show the rulers are now sold. Thanks, everyone that inquired about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I use my quiltazoid for almost all of my cross hatching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocoholic Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Just send Linda Rech an email. No, I don't have it handy, but just find one of her messages on the forum, and you can send an email from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grace Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 A question for Linda Gibbons: When doing such beautiful cross-hatching, what do you do around the applique? Do you start/stop at each design, or is there a 'secret' to not using so many start/stops? Your work is just gorgeous. I love to cross-hatch, but hate the many interruptions around designs. Any suggestions would be extremely helpful. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfly Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I just bought Deloa's castle ruler. I will get to use it in a week or so to crosshatch some blocks, so I can't tell you yet if I like it. Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfly Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I plan on getting Linda Rech's tool when I get a quilt that has lots of cross-hatching for me to do. It looks to be the best one out there IMHO. Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandmaLKB Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I ordered a set of Linda's crosshatching rulers last night ! Also Myrna's pinched squares............wheeeee! So many toys......... With all the new toys and fabric/patterns I have been accumulating, I will be ready for a nasty, cold winter again. More UPS deliveries.............the UPS guy came the other day and I got 2 packages -NEITHER had any quilting stuff. My husband is still in shock.

marycontrary Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Well Linda in Oskaloosa, you provided the perfect excuse I needed to go ahead and order the cross hatch rulers -- the long nasty winter! It was soooooo bad last year, and who knows what this year will bring us. Maybe I NEED to order those r&s boards I've been eying also! Thanks! I know my husband will understand now!
