Revolutionary Quilting Rulers Invented
When it comes to quilting notions there is an endless choice of rulers, templates, marking pens, cutting tools, threads, etc. that a quilter can utilize. As the time to create a new quilted item approaches it may appear difficult to know what materials to choose and how to begin. A great place to begin is with a quilting ruler called the Double Diamond Ruler.
You can add a diamond-shaped ornamentation to any design when you utilize a Double Diamond Ruler. Prior to the invention of the Double Diamond Ruler it was rather cumbersome to make a diamond pattern. In the past you would have had to make a design onto fusible interfacing, press it onto the material and then clip the lines you drew with a pair of scissors. Talk about time consuming! The Double Diamond Ruler ended all that.
The Double Diamond Ruler can be found in two sizes making it possible for you to make either 1 1/2″ or 3 1/2″ wide diamonds. Make an attention-getting eyeglass case or even a purse strap using the 1 1/2″ Double Diamond Ruler. Add distinctive, dimensional diamonds to a table runner, table topper or even wall hanging using the 3 1/2″ Double Diamond Ruler.
Once you have determined which sized Double Diamond Ruler works best for your design you will need to choose 3 quality fabrics to work with: a main fabric, contrast fabric and background fabric. Solid color fabrics work best but the diamonds do not display well when you use large prints. However, small prints can produce an intersting effect.
