sharingstitches Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I just wanted to give a shout out about the Circlelord Giant Templates. They are AWESOME! If you are new or just want to get something done quickly these are the best. I rent my machine by the hour so speed is sometimes what clients are looking for. Ribbles is a very popular first time pattern. After that the Baptist Fan. If you should need more info on the most popular boards my clients chose let me know. It is a big investment and I was worried at first. Truly, when choosing the right boards for your clients they pay for themselves. Thanks Michael.

LinneaMarie Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I TOTALLY agree! I love my Circle lord! Swirls seems to be my customers favorite. They are a life saver! On a winter quilt the swirls look like wind/snow blowing around and on a beach quilt it looks like waves washing in to shore. I could not be without them!

gardenslug Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 For people, like myself, who are artistically challenged, the Circle Lord products are a life saver. I can relatively quickly make a quilt look quite wonderful. Well worth my investment. Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Last Stitch Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Which boards...how much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I use my boards a lot, too. The one I bought and then almost regretted ordering it, was the plain old meander. Why did I order it? I can do a nice free hand meander, fairly consistent, well mostly consistent. Well, that is the board I use the most. It is in my lowest price category, a plus for my customers, and it is a design my customers seem to love. They love the consistency! I did it on many quilts pieced in a tee shirt class at my LQS. The students wanted theirs quilted just like their teacher's quilt was done. The next customer favorites are the Baptist Fan and the Swirls.

Lynn1234 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Tonilyn, Which machine(s) does your circlelord fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewcrazy4quilting Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Agreed! I love Circle Lord for both the long boards and all the other goodies. I also use the up front spiro thingy allot for block and corner fillers, and the featherz disk, and the aztec disk and ...... you get the picture. IMHO a much more cost effective option than a computerized drive system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltedsunflower Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I love the Circle Lord, too. Just wish I had more time to play!! I have the spriothingy, but haven't had a chance to use it yet. It looks like so much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharingstitches Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Sandra, I had also thought the same thing about the meander board. It's now going on my wish list. Thank you for the comment it was very helpful with my indecision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgene Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I don't know how I could have gotten it all done without my Circle Lord templates. Fast, easy, and yet precise. My customers love them. One customer told me that she quit taking her tops to her local quilt shop because they used a computerized machine and her quilt was just too fancily quilted. She didn't want the quilting to distract from the piecing she had spent so much time on. She loves the CL designs on her quilts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinequilts Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I love my boards too and I have most of them. My customer favorites are the Swirls, and Baptist Fan, and Trillium, and Cosmos, and..and... it goes on and on. It really helped me get my business up and running when I hardly knew how to do any freehand quilting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
