Starrynight Quilter Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Which are your favorite templates, rulers for your longarm quilting? Which are your favorite pantographs. If you own a CL or QZ do you still require templates/rulers??? Just curious.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSewSimple Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 The Castle and the Boomerange by Deloa are my favorites. I used to use the itty bitty all the time until I got the Castle. Now I just use the Castle. I also have the CL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newellyn Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I have a CL but seldom use it. I will probably be posting it for sale after returning from vacation. My favorite most used templates: Straight edge that came with the Hartley extended base. Nested Circles from Quilters' Rule Nested Ovales from Quilters' Rule Crosshatchers from Dennis and Linda Rech My new Double S Rulers from Quilters' Rule/Rhonda Beyer. R and S Design Boards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 fav ruler - little one by deloa. i like it cause it is so small that it forces me to move my hand so i dont wobble. imho, i think everyone should get a little one when they are beginners. it just makes you do it right which i hope will translate into good habits. i just got the castle by deloa, but have not had much time with it yet.

ffq-lar Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Any small rectangle--I have an Itty Bitty and a 2 1/2" x 6" rectangle Den made for me. Dragon Scales by Quilter's Rule for meticulous CCs and home-stitched clamshells. What boards I have are R&S--tiny basketweave and BF. My want-list for Christmas are Ronda's curved crosshatch set and Quilter's Rule's Cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primitive1 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Itty bitty for SID work Linda's crosshatch rulers and dragon scales for cc's I have a CL but have way too many requests for custom and try to work it in when I can... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinequilts Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I love Deloa's castle for SID. I also love her Appliguide. Lately, I've been getting good at SID around appique with the micro-drive handles, so don't know if I will replace the Appiguide with the micro drive handles eventually - not yet though... I have a few templates for circles and ovals, which I use mainly for archs, not cirlces, because I use my Circle Lord for circles, which I love. I wouldn't give up my Circle Lord.

Quilting Heidi Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 My favorites are Deloa's Little One, Castle 2nd and I would be lost without her boomerang rulers. What I love most about the boomerang rulers is that you can use the inside or outside curve and get the same arc! Makes curved cross hatching very easy. I have the Quiltazoid and would not get rid of it. I use it mostly for piano keys, 1/4" cross hatching and circles but also use design boards. It is a great tool!

victoriasews Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Another vote for Deloa's Boomerangs and a small straight edge. My straight edge is Little Girl and it has 1/4 inch lines etched on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenH Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I don't have a favorite yet, but can anyone suggest where to get info on using some of the different rulers. I am still fairly new at this and at this point not confident at all. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I have a Circle Lord, I use it frequently, and yes, I still use templates! I could not live without my Janet-Lee's Favorite Ruler (Gadget Girls). I also have the Little Girl and Sherry Rogers-Harrison's Dainty Ditcher. I have a set of ovals -- I often quilt with an oval in my hand to help guide me around smooth shapes. I also have a few curved templates for feather spines, Renae's Arcs (including the lasered one for curved cross hatching). Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
