delores62305 14 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I have decided to take the plunge and purchase some boards. What boards do everyone use the most? Would it be better to buy boards or the actual Circlelord basically? Thanks,everyone. Delores Herren Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beachside Quilter 704 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hi Delores: I love my circle lord giant boards. The ones I use most are Swirls; looks great on any style quilt and stitches out very quickly and easily. The Swirls is a tried and true long favorite. Of the newer board designs, my favorites are Egyptian Eye and Wanders. They are super easy to stitch and look wonderful on anything, especially modern style quilts. You can't go wrong with any of the boards. Pick one and try them and you are sure to be hooked! You only need boards and rear stylus to get started. Oma 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BossQuilter 53 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 All the boards I have, (most of them ) have more than paid for themselves.... I always look for a way to make my life easier! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
delld 2,047 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Love my Swrirls, Egyptian Eye and Wandering! I have bunches more and love them too, but I agree with Vickie these three will be great starters!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BethDurand 350 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 The only one that I'd add to this would be Baptist Fans. FYI, I've got the 18" cross hatching board with 1" separation, and the 12" spirals for sale if you are interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oma 1,064 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Figure out what size you need (12" or 15"). Decide what your style is. Then purchase everything you can afford. I love my Swirls boards. The Egyptian Eye will be great for a little more masculine design. I really like the Square Dance boards. The new one called Ribbons looks really nice. I may be using it next. I have Daisies and it always looks nice especially on baby girl quilts. The Baptist Fan sews out fast and nice. Actually I have a lot of them and I love them all. Put them on the payment plan and get what you can afford. You won't be sorry you did. Beachside Quilter 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
