First test worked well now all I need is practice.<br />A tip from one of the longarm quilters was to add rubber cement to the back of the ruler to prevent slippage.<br />Keep those tutorials coming.JLattrell@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867994347415076568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-63732314278588014072015-04-15T09:17:19.198-04:002015-04-15T09:17:19.198-04:00This was for a sample in which I want the lines of...This was for a sample in which I want the lines of stitching to be easily seen, but I am looking forward to using this design in an actual piece with matching thread.

With a ruler though, it is so much more straight.<br /><br /> An online class would be awesome, but right now I’m just working on samples and the order of a future class. One of these days, I’ll have to see about having a class at a show or in a much larger city. Maybe Raleigh NC as it’s only 2 hours away.Amy @ Amy's FMQ Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18249397590865683398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-46988195122933643992015-04-15T07:57:03.898-04:002015-04-15T07:57:03.898-04:00This type of quilting is great to pop designs.

I'd consider very thin threads and probably even a closely matching color, as these will limit how much overtracing is seen.<br />Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15615407180854374470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-54111478566818446332015-04-15T07:53:52.324-04:002015-04-15T07:53:52.324-04:00Matchstick quilting is on my to do list..I've ...Matchstick quilting is on my to do list..I've only seen it done with a walking foot but that has limitations that are solved with a ruler and FM foot.
