hovindw Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Hi, I am going to order the quiltazoid and was wondering what 2 templates you would order first. I am kind of thinking of numbers 1, 14, or 18. But also like number 11, 12 and 14. Decisions, decisions. Thanks, Winona Hovind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibbyG Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I remember agonizing over this same decision. I use #20 the most. It's the beadboard because of the border work. I also ordered the crosshatch template with one inch on one side and 1/2 on the other. I do have some of the templates, but haven't really used them yet. Cindy Thompson is an expert with this. She'll probably chime in soon. I like the spirographs and the eccentric tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovindw Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I am going to order the spiro tool with the quiltazoid. I thought that it was very versatile. I don't mind doing ruler-work for beadboard borders, so I am not sure if I should get that one right away. The crosshatch template is tempting but I don't think that it is one of my options for the two extra templates. Thanks for your advice.

Quilting Heidi Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 My most used are just like Libby. I use the cross-hatch boards all the time and you can also use those to do beadboarding, you just have to move them along more if you have a wide border.

LadyLake Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I think Cindy T uses the Regal a lot (not sure what number that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovindw Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I have decided that one of my free boards will be the pinched square spiral because I saw a quilt done using that in alternating squares with the spiro attachment and know that I have quite a few quilts that I can do that on. And after looking at photos of quilts quilted with the quiltazoid I think that I might use the beadboard and crosshatch quite a bit. If you had to choose, would you get the beadboard first or the 1/4" crosshatch? Thanks, Winona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Winona, I would do the double sided cross hatch. It has the most commonly used sizes on it for cross hatching and you could also use that for beadboarding. I do a lot of small work and have used my 1/4" templates a lot but not everybody does that. You can also use this board to do bigger by skipping say 1 for 1/2" or 2 for 3/4" but that does get old if you're doing a lot of it. You could tape off of the ones you don't use. In that case I would probably get the beadboarding board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovindw Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Thanks Heidi, Joan, and Libby for your advice. I am going to order the Pinched Square Spiral and the BeadBoard. Hopefully next month I will be able to order the double sided cross hatch and possibly one or two others. Thanks again, Winona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CindyT Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 LibbyG...you crack me up! I'm no expert, but I'll chime in. Winona, you cannot go wrong with the Pinched Square Spiral or the Beadboard. Great choices! You'll want to branch out to others once you get your feet wet with these. I do use Regal a lot as it seems to go with the themes/blocks certain customers use in their quilts. I like to use parts (like the corners) of it to enhance blocks, too. You might want to try one of the border templates also. They are very easy to use and go fast across the borders. I use the floral border the most of those templates. Whatever you choose, have fun with it! I'm hooked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovindw Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I did a little research before I decided to go with the Quiltazoid and I couldn't find anyone that posted that they were unhappy with their quiltazoid. I thought that it must be good because usually you find people with complaints about products. I have just ordered it and can't wait until I receive it to try it out!

mswings Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I love my Quiltazoid Winona! I love the Regal and have used it a couple of times. It is #18 I think. Anyway, you will love it. I is very easy to set up and use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
