Amanda Murphy, best-selling author of the Free-Motion Quilting Idea Sampler, starts by showing you how to use 6 basic shapes of machine quilting rulers to lay a foundation for your quilting, then moves on to teaching you 59 different designs.

If you have tried your hand at free-motion, you know how frustrating quilting a long smooth curve can be. This is because, at some point, we have to stop and reposition our hands and it can be hard to start again while still maintaining a smooth \u003cbr\u003eCurved rulers make maintaining a smooth, long curve much easier. I typically use petal-shaped rulers to exe­cute the simplest of these designs, but you can also use the edge of a variety of differently sized circle rulers to accomplish the same thing. Remember, you don’t have to use the entire ruler’s edge. If the curve fits what you need, you can stitch along just part of the ruler instead. \u003cbr\u003eThese designs are quick to quilt, and glorious when accentuated with free-motion.

Large S-Curves are good for borders, while smaller ones work well for sashing. \u003cbr\u003eIf you find you really enjoy quilting this design, you might want to invest in rulers specifically designed for Rope designs.
