Ruler work


Recommended Posts

I have been practicing and got tired of it so I have just started quilting my quilts and have used Pantographs on them and they came out pretty good. But my last quilt I did I used curved and straight rulers on it but was never sure if I was doing it right. I did not have any trouble using the ruler but I never know how to travel to one place to the other. Am I suppose to cut my thread so I do not go over already stitched lines. There must be something written about this.

Any suggestions are welcomed.

Thank you,

Sheila

If I am using a very fine thread that matches the background or clear thread, I do not hesitate to travel in the ditch. If you are using a contrasting thread and won't like the look of the thread build up then I would do the multiple stops and starts. You need to be the judge based on your project. With a little planning you usually can minimize the number of travels. Stopping and starting is time consuming and eats up a lot of thread.
