QUILT STRAIGHT — WITHOUT THE STRUGGLE

Keeping It Straight! introduces you to ruler work and shows you how a simple straight-edge ruler can open up a whole new world of quilting designs.

We’ll start with the basics—setting up your machine, using a ruler foot, positioning and holding your ruler, and understanding that important ¼-inch spacing between the ruler and your stitching line. Then we’ll put those skills to work with practical designs you can use on real quilts.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

  • Quilt straight, evenly spaced lines
  • Stitch in the ditch with greater control
  • Create geometric designs and interesting angles
  • Travel around blocks and along seams
  • Combine ruler work with free-motion quilting
  • Add structure and definition to borders, blocks, and other areas of your quilts

Best of all, Keeping It Straight gives you another tool for quilting your own quilts. Your lines don’t have to be perfectly straight—and neither does your quilting. With a ruler, a little practice, and a few simple techniques, you can create beautiful quilting designs with confidence.
