Help me find this ruler.

[shirleyl]

Ok I know I wasn't dreaming. Before Christmas I seen a ruler to make circles. Little circles, the ruler came apart in half, you put it around four hopping foot, stitched a circle, slid ruler over and did the next one. All the circles the same size and connected on one side. I thought it was Jamie Wallen or Dusty Farrell, but I can't locate it.

I have one of my quilts I want to use this on and I need to order it, but cannot find it. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Was it Dusty's Nested Circles? I could see where you could do one circle after another with it. It doesn't come apart in half; however, it does have a hopping foot bar opening to slide around the bar.

Found it. Dusty a new ruler The Pebbler. I ordered it a minute ago. I hate it when you see something, then a design comes to you in the middle of the night weeks later.

Thanks

I located the nested circles and pebbler here, but I'm sure they're other places, too:   http://stores.cscountrystitchin.com/pocket-pebbler/

Yup that's the place, thanks for posting it for me. They seem to be having website problems tho, so I couldn't complete the order. I will call them tomorrow, but did message them on Facebook, so if you try to order you may just have to call the shop.

I have a question about the ruler. I have tried to bring up a demo or a quilt that was done so I can see what this looks like but nothing will come up. I went to the site listed above but all I can get is a picture of the ruler. Does anyone know where I can see something quilted with this ruler? Thanks maybe I'm just having a blonde moment lol

Kimmy Brunner sells some like this, and so does Teryl Loy and Handiquilter has a ruler of mini circles. - 3 or 4 sizes.

I found them, thanks! This is great work, and will save me a lot of effort.

Sad to see that Dusty is claiming this a new ruler, this this is actually a ruler that Deloa developed.  This ruler came on the market at MQX in NH year before last.  See her website.  http://www.deloasquiltshop.com/shop/guides.html

Thanks Heidi. I have all of Deloa's rulers except the circle one. Those now are on my wanted list. lol

I have this little ruler that comes apart to make circles.  The largest circles are about 1 1/2 inches.  I have never used the smallest ones.  I have used it quite a bit. My only complaint is that it comes apart sometimes when I am sewing, so it messes up that circle and I have to frog it and redo it.

I have this ruler and use it, but it doesn't make very large circles and it sometimes comes apart.  It is very handy though

Thanks Teresa I was wondering when I saw the puzzle piece design holding them together and I would probably be the one to put pressure on one end too much and pop it out.

[chickenscratch]

Nancy, that's exactly what happens. I do it all the time.

I found Dusty's and bought some from Quilters Rule so I have a variety of sizes.

I'll go with DeLoa's,  I Know Hers Will Work well, and

first out first selected.

 

Thanks, Heidi and DeLoa!

I just spent several days at a retreat with no one I knew there with me.

 

After this wonderful experience, I will always go with the person Who Actually Came out with the FIRST tool,

device, ruler, etc.. and make sure they receive credit for the work They Spent Creating it.

 

I pray DeLoa had/has a patent pending on her rulers.. ALL of them!

 

Yes, I came back with a mouth, and will continue to use it to support and when I can, protect the ORIGINAL

developer..

Didn't know about DeLoas.

Please remember that no one can patent a shape. Anyone can make a ruler using any shape. Patents are expensive to apply for and even more expensive to enforce. Only the lawyers win when there are problems.

 

I agree that if you can determine the first maker of a specific ruler maybe buy that one. But people shop availability and price (including shipping) when they make a purchase. I see copy-cats all the time. And even several of Den's creations have been "borrowed" or out-right copied. He doesn't ever fret about it. In fact, the crosshatching rulers weren't something he particularly wanted to make for sale, so at the beginning he offered free instructions on how to make them.

[shirleyl]

I love his crosshatch rulers!
