When I started long arm quilting nearly 11 years ago I never thought quilting would evolve to what it is today, and I'm so excited to see what the future holds. In the beginning there weren't very many quilting tools or tutorials on how to use them. Now, wow! I'm blown away at the talent I come across on a daily basis. The quilting and machine quilting community is booming and it is so exciting!! I would like to do a series of posts and share my favorite go to tools that I use to either long arm quilt or to sew. First up, my great friend Linda Hrcka (who has a heart of gold) is an outstanding long arm quilter, and she has created some long arm rulers that I recommend to any and every long arm quilter. I won't need a different set of curve or straight rulers ever! Let me tell you why... I love rulers that are created for quilters by quilters. They understand the need for the right curve, length, line markings...on the rulers themselves, the durability, the functionality and so forth. Linda has taken the time to develop and perfect them, which makes my job as a quilter easier. I can rely on the curve or measurement to be consistent, which creates something rather beautiful in the end. My favorite curve rulers of Linda's are the #10, #12, #15, and #20. They each have different lengths and curves; which makes them perfect for quilting designs in sashing, borders, blocks and so on! The possibilities are endless. Head over to instagram and check out the hashtag #theqpcurvetemplates to see all the amazing designs quilters from all over the world are creating. Here are a few designs that I've come up with on client quilts and one of my own... This is a quilt of my own. I used Gooseberry fabric by Vanessa from Lella Boutique, from Moda. The quilt pattern is called Moda Love, and is a free pattern from Moda. I used the #15 curve ruler from Linda for the corner of the blocks, and the #10 curve ruler for the sashing. I love love love the look that these curves create! This very center part of the quilt, which is actually where the sashing meets is my favorite part of the whole thing. I was hoping for something awesome when I was finished, and I couldn't love it more. Those curves created from Linda's rulers...I'm speechless at the result. This stunning quilt was made by Barbara, one of my clients who has become a dear dear friend! Love her, and felt so privileged to quilt this for her. The pattern is by Pam Buda and is called, Prairie Gathering. Wow, huh?!?!?!!!! I knew I wanted to use Linda's curve rulers throughout, starting with the borders. Its difficult at times to figure out what to quilt in those on point triangle blocks that are often in quilt borders. I saw Linda and Kathleen (from Kathleenquilts.com) create this design and knew I wanted to replicate it. Linda's #20 ruler was my first choice! I think that one is my favorite curve and ruler length! I'm exciting to use it on one of my own quilts soon. Right next to the freehand outside border (on the right) is that long straight border...this design happens to be one of my favorite ways to dress up a border or sashing! I used a #15 curve ruler from Linda...love it! A couple more pictures of Barbara's quilt! Julie made this simple half square triangle quilt, and I had the opportunity to quilt it a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to make the white background around the block pop! So, I used #10 ruler with a half inch spacing, I couldn't love it more. I used the #12 ruler for the inside curve on the echoed petals on the green block. It's fun for me to see the difference quilting can make on a simple quilt block. Love love love quilty curves! Have I convinced you yet these rulers are worth every penny!!! Head over to Linda's shop: http://thequiltedpineapple.bigcartel.com/ and check them out, and the price is pretty great!!! Her curves and straight rulers are sold individually or as a set, or you can get all of her rulers in one big set. I didn't mention the two smallest curve rulers. The smallest called the BFF is created to help you quilt around applique or the like. It fits right in your hand, and it the perfect little ruler for guiding your machine into those tight spots. The #8 ruler is the second smallest and is great for those slight small curves, perfect for inside blocks. Here is a short youtube video of me using the #12 ruler, enjoy: Linda recently created a set of 3 straight rulers!!! Of course several quilters, myself included were excited! Look at all those awesome lines...I'm super excited to use them more and more! I was more than thrilled when Linda sent me a set the other day, perfect timing too... I have only used the longest ruler, a 16" length once, and I already know this is going to be my go to straight ruler set. The most important thing when using rulers is to avoid having them slide on you while your quilting. In the past I've attached some grip dots to the bottom of my rulers. With this ruler I didn't have to, why you might ask...Linda added an extra 1/2" to the width of the ruler. Which may not seem like it would make much of a difference, but it does! My hand was able to grip it better, yay! I used this straight ruler to do the 1" border, in the white, and the on point diamonds on the first inner border. (pictured above) I'm excited to use the grid lines on the rulers in the future. Linda just made measuring for cross hatching so easy with the on point measurements!!! And, in case you were wondering...I used the #20 ruler in the red inner border. Thanks, Linda! I love what I do, and its a treat to use your rulers. Creating new designs with your rulers has taken my quilting up a notch! I appreciate all you do, Linda, to make such an amazing impact on the quilting world. So proud of you, friend! (the corner of the border...love what straight lines can do) Linda's straight ruler set is also available at: http://thequiltedpineapple.bigcartel.com/ Which quilting tools would you like to hear about next??? Head over to my instagram @leishakaye and let me know what interests you! Thanks for stopping by, ~ happy quilting, Leisha

Poor tension is the #1 issue machine quilters struggle to correct. The first critical step in solving it is getting over the fear of actually changing the top or bobbin case tension. Admonishments of “never touch the tension” from a home ec teacher might still sting your ears, but it’s time to silence that inner voice and put on a brave “I can do this” attitude!
